Since founding it in 1990, Masaaki Suzuki has turned Bach Collegium Japan—his crack group of singers and players—into one of today’s great Baroque ensembles. For many, his complete cycle of Bach’s 200 surviving church cantatas, recorded between 1995 and 2013, is the go-to choice, his interpretations full of character and deep musical insight. BCJ’s discography has since grown beyond this monumental project, but Bach remains their calling card. This celebrated performance of the great Mass in B Minor demonstrates the qualities that listeners have come to expect from Suzuki and his musicians: an appealing blend of clarity and weight, and a feel for Bach’s music as a kind of heavenly dance.
