Music reviews of Bach: St. John Passion / Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan, et al

Music Review: Bach by Suzuki is Sublime
Rating: 5 Stars

The internationally acclaimed HIP (Historically Informed Performance) instrumental and choral ensemble Bach Collegium Japan, under music director Masaaki Suzuki, delivers an outstanding performance of the St. John Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach. This superb 1998 BIS recording won a Cannes Classical Award in 2000. In his August 18, 2005 article for the highly respected, high brow, German nationwide weekly newspaper Die Zeit, "The Meistersingers from Tokyo: Conductor Masaaki Suzuki and his Japanese Bach Collegium left audiences speechless in a recent tour of Germany," Die Zeit journalist Wolfram Goertz writes, "Masaaki Suzuki was born in Kobe, in 1954. He is the conductor of the Bach Collegium Japan, a hand-picked group of musicians who since the group's formation in 1990 have dedicated themselves so unswervingly and competently to Bach's music that the western world has been left speechless. The jury of Germany's phonographic award, the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, recently honoured Suzuki's team for the 27th sequel of its recordings all of Bach's cantatas. Now the troop is in Franconia to perform Bach's Mass in B Minor. After the concert the audience looked as if they couldn't quite believe what they'd just heard. Some were clearly asking themselves what on earth had happened to the world and its traditions that their beloved Bach could be delivered with such profundity, virtuosity and sincerity by, God forbid, the Japanese."

Description of Bach: St. John Passion / Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan, et al

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
The Bach Collegium Japan has outdone itself: this St. John Passion is among the very best recordings in a crowded field--and not just because it includes three rarely performed items from Bach's intermediate versions of the work. As the Evangelist, Gerd Türk doesn't ladle rich, creamy vocalism over Bach's recitative; rather, using a low, natural-sounding volume as his base level, he uses subtle (and occasionally sudden) shifts of volume and tempo to recount the narrative like a genuine storyteller. At times Türk's delivery approaches "speech-song", yet in the famously dramatic moments in which the Evangelist gets real melody--such as "und weinete bitterlich" ("[Peter] wept bitterly")--he gives us full-throated, lyrical singing. Bass Chiyuki Urano is a creditable (if slightly stolid) Jesus; the four soloists who sing the arias are marvelous--their pure, youthful tone and grown-up artistry make for the best renditions of these solos that this listener has heard. Masaaki Suzuki and the BCJ bring a sense of sincere contemplation to the performance (as opposed to the more energetic approach of Gardiner) without short-changing the work's genuine drama--whatever their religious persuasions may be, these musicians play and sing the St. John Passion as if they really believe. --Matthew Westphal
