Performer: Hana Blažíková

A luminous evening in Hamburg's Laeiszhalle, where Hana Blažíková and Bruce Dickey revive the voice-like soul of the cornetto in a concert of breath, beauty and Baroque eloquence.

In celebration of the 300th anniversary of Bach's St John Passion, Masaaki Suzuki and Bach Collegium Japan gives a compelling performance of the lesser-known 1725 version of work.

Even outstanding soloists had to wait their turn in this Rolls-Royce performance in Aix-en-Provence.

Three beautiful cantatas from Bach and his Mass in F major made for a rewarding concert with the Bach Collegium Japan. Suzuki directs a thoughtful and heartfelt rendition and is joined by a quartet of excellent soloists. 

There are multiple ways of approaching Bach's Mass in B minor, from the one-to-a-part advocated by Joshua Rifkin to a more conventional large choral approach, and everything in between.
