'Recording Bach’s complete sacred cantatas is enough of a job in itself. But the conductor Masaaki Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan ... have still found time to look sideways and bring us a new version of Bach’s tremendous B Minor Mass...it would take an iron bar not be moved by his crispness, sobriety and spiritual rigour.'

'Musicianship is, to be sure, Mr. Suzuki’s greatest strength… a subtle ear for color, a keen sense of harmonic direction, and an ability to make phrases breathe and rhythms live' The New York Times
