Awards and reviews
September 2009
Bach Collegium Japan responds magnificently to such diversity of expression and contrasting forces. Peter Kooij is particularly striking… He's fearsome in the rattling concitato of the 'battle aria' (BWV 57) in which Jesus assures the Soul the 'Yes, I can smite the enemies...'
Awards Issue 2009
From the outset, the Bach Collegium Japan deliver these 1725 Christmas pieces with supreme vitality and exuberance. …Blažíková projects a penetrating radiance with admirable focus and impeccable tuning in "Ich wunschte mir den Tod"… a fine addition to Suzuki's distinguished series.
