About

As always the opening choruses are of particular interest, for instance that of Cantata BWV47, a striking example of Bach’s skills in illustrating a text in music but also a highly complex composition in which the interplay between choir and orchestra is beautifully balanced. The soloists also have their share of fine moments on this instalment. Hana Blažíková, dubbed ‘an ideal Bach soprano’ in International Record Review on account of her performance on the previous Cantata volume, performs the charming and playful aria ‘Auch mit gedämpften, schwachen Stimmen’ with solo violin, while Robin Blaze and Peter Kooij – both veterans of this series – each have received a true display piece in the form of the two arias of BWV27.

‘With Suzuki you can hear Bach's heart beat...’ (International Record Review on Volume 40, BIS-SACD-1671).

Reviews

January 2011

Suzuki's [Bach series] was initially rather restrained and reverential. No longer...the generous acoustic of the Chapel, reverberating for nearly four seconds, doesn't dull the crisp articulation...another superb contribution to Suzuki's Bach project.

April 2011

the performances here do not disappoint. There's particularly crisp, clear choral singing in the contrapuntal opening chorus of Wer sich selbst erhöhet...The delicate solo violin playing and warm oboe d'amore obbligato deserve high praise and the balance of lyricism and rhythmic drive is well judged throughout.

February 2011

Robin Blaze's sprightly and generous singing leaves us relishing the prospect of our passing...we are treated [in BWV47] to more of Hana Blažíkova, a Bach soprano of engaging disposition.

January 2011

Suzuki achieves that rarest of balancing acts in Bach: a sense of spiritual gravitas, but lightness of touch; the delight in complexity, but absolute transparency of texture; rhetorical awareness of the text, but musical plain speaking. The solo team here is one of the best line-ups we've had for a while.

January 2011

this 47th volume of his Bach Cantata Cycle is as good as any of its predecessors. There are plenty of surprises here too; in fact Suzuki and Bach make a good team. They are both endlessly inventive musicians, but each has a real sensitivity to the necessary balance between continuity and innovation in liturgical music.
