Apple Music Classical

In 2017, Masaaki Suzuki and Bach Collegium Japan recorded the final instalment of their Bach cantata series. Over 22 years and 55 albums, Suzuki and his incredible team of voices and players produced what has since become acknowledged as one of the greatest recording projects of the 21st century. Here you can listen to some of the most astonishing moments from those cantatas, but so much more, too. Savour highlights from the Passions, the B minor Mass and the motets, as well as the Brandenburg Concertos and Christmas Oratorio. And there’s Handel too, courtesy of a vibrant, thrilling Messiah, alongside Beethoven, Mozart and Monteverdi. Away from the podium, Suzuki is a world-class organist, and his recordings of Buxtehude and Bach have taken in some of Germany’s most historic instruments. Enjoy this exploration of an infinitely engaging and exciting Baroque musician.
