After 25 volumes of Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred cantatas on BIS, Masaaki Suzuki and the Bach Collegium Japan have found the time to make a disc of secular cantatas. J.S. Bach: Secular Cantatas BWV 210 & 211 combines one of Bach's wedding cantatas, O holder tag, with Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht, the famous Coffee Cantata. Soprano Carolyn ...
Within six months of being discovered in the summer of 2005, Bach's Aria "Alles mit Gott und nicht ohn' ihn" (All things with God and nothing without Him) received three recordings: one by John Eliot Gardiner, one by Ton Koopman, and this one by Masaaki Suzuki. This is well and proper: any "new" work by Bach is worth hearing and a terrific "new" ...
Masaaki Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan have once again turned in a superlative volume in their series of discs dedicated to the complete cantatas of J.S. Bach. This volume, number 35, includes four works: Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein, BWV 128; Es ist ein trotzig und versagt Ding, BWV 176; Bisher habt ihr nichts gebeten in meinem Namen, BWV ...
The three cantatas on this disc, volume 33 of the ongoing complete edition by conductor Masaaki Suzuki and his historical-instrument Bach Collegium Japan, aren't familiar items. But they make a marvelous program that introduces the listener to many of the specific virtues of Suzuki's series. Those virtues do not run especially in the direction of ...
These are the days of miracles and wonders; not only are there already two complete recordings of all Bach's cantatas -- the greatest body of sacred music since the Renaissance -- but there are more cycles in progress. But while it is indeed wonderful to have so many recordings of so much great music available, there are drawbacks to each cycle. ...
The 36th volume in Masaaki Suzuki's survey of the complete extant cantatas of Bach shares all the virtues of the previous 35: insight into the works' spiritual underpinnings and top-notch musicality. The four vocal soloists sing with relaxed agility, and though some might find Yukari Nonoshita's soprano too white and Robin Blaze's counter-tenor ...
Even at their most expressive, Masaaki Suzuki and the Bach Collegium Japan's series of recordings of Bach's cantatas have been quintessentially musical. In the ardent intensity of tenor Andreas Weller's voice and the pungent tone of the pair of oboe d'amores in the aria Auch die harte Kreuzereise (Oh, hateful heart's journey) from Liebster ...
Conductor Masaaki Suzuki and the Japan Bach Collegium, Japan's leading historical-instrument ensemble, here take a break from a long series of cantata recordings to present Bach's Easter Oratorio and Ascension Oratorio. Actually, these recordings are very much of a piece with Suzuki's cantata discs. The two oratorios are really large cantatas, ...
Johann Sebastian Bach technically only has one setting of the Magnificat, which he composed twice, the E flat major incarnation for Christmas Day in 1723, and its D major sister for the Visitation Feast of the B.V.M. a decade later. It is the latter version that has become a frequently recorded repertory standard, and is the one heard here. As ...
