Bach Collegium Japan / Masaaki Suzuki

 

Three Christmas cantatas from 1725 make up the programme of the 43rd volume in Masaaki Suzuki’s and Bach Collegium Japan’s highly praised cycle of Bach’s cantatas.

 

The young Czech soprano Hana Blažíková takes centre stage for the first time in this series with a wonderfully fresh interpretation. The other soloists, Robin Blaze, Gerd Türk and Peter Kooij continue in top form after the recent successes of  Vol. 41: ‘Utterly absorbing from start to finish’, BBC Music Magazine, and Vol. 40: ‘With Suzuki you can hear Bach's heart beat’, International Record Review.
