Suzuki to debut with ex-Gardiner ensembles

Suzuki to debut with ex-Gardiner ensembles

The Japanese Bach specialist Masaaki Suzuki will direct the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists for the first time next month at St Martin-in-the-Fields, on June 19.

The programme is taken from the 1725 cantatas.

Suzuki says: ‘There is something electrifying about making music with an ensemble whose DNA is so closely entwined with Bach’s. The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists have helped to shape the world’s understanding of this music for decades. To collaborate with them and such wonderful soloists on these radiant 1725 cantatas, works that reveal Bach at his most daring and devotional, is both humbling and exhilarating. I look forward to the energy, the insight, and, I hope, the surprises we will discover together.’
