Bach Collegium Japan was founded in 1990 with the aim of bringing historically informed performances of great works of the Baroque period to Japanese audiences. It consists of an orchestra and a choir with period instruments. »Over the past 30 years, under the direction of its founder Masaaki Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan has become one of the world's leading baroque ensembles.« (The Guardian) The ensemble first gained worldwide attention for its acclaimed recordings of the complete Bach cantatas. A BBC review said, »The performers live and breathe Bach's music with as much immediacy as if it had been composed yesterday.« One can be curious about the interpretations of the Japanese guests!
