Soloists: Gerd Tuerck, Stephan MacLeod, Chiyuki Urano, Miduri Suzuki, and Robin Blaze. AMAZON One of the greatest musical treatments of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ receives a performance that is musically precise and stylistically close to what we now know of Bach's ideals. Western classical music is becoming more and more the property of musicians and audiences in the Far East, and this performance shows that it is in good hands. The participants are all specialists, including the Japanese orchestra, which plays on period instruments, and their work meets the highest international standards. Masaaki Suzuki, who conducts and plays the harpsichord, is a complete and thorough musician, deeply involved in the emotional overtones of the music as well as technical questions of tempo, balance, and phrasing. His vision comes to terms with the full complexity of the music. His soloists are all excellent, with particularly notable work by Gerd Tuerck as the Evangelist and Robin Blaze in the alto arias. --Joe McLellanDVDs ARE REGION 1 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
