Visiting the UK: Bach Collegium Japan

Renowned worldwide for their performances of Bach's choral works, Masaaki Suzuki's Bach Collegium Japan take on Bach's great Mass in B minor, recorded in 2016 at the Barbican.

Bach Collegium Japan: Bach B Minor Mass.

Under the direction of founder Masaaki Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan has built a worldwide reputation in Baroque sacred music. Bach's B minor Mass was a suitably inspired opening to the first major UK residency by the Collegium at the Barbican Hall in 2016.
