Awards and reviews
2010
an urgently refreshing reading of the St John Passion...with fine singing from the chorus giving dramatic impact to the 'turba' choruses...Suzuki's feeling for the natural timing of numbers - generally on the fast side in the modern period manner - is impeccable, and the soloists make an excellent team, with Gerd Türk an outstanding Evangelist.
