This first-rate album is volume 11 in the Bach Collegium, Japan's exhaustive survey of the Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach. The choral performances on this disc are very fine, and soloist Midori Suzuki sings better German than many European and American artists, resulting in articulate and committed music making. The highly informative booklet is written by the conductor Masaaki Suzuki, himself also an accomplished organ and harpsichord player who is concurrently recording the complete Bach harpsichord music for BIS. The Bach Collegium, Japan was formed in 1990, with the express purpose of introducing high-quality "authentic" performances of baroque music to a Japanese audience largely unfamiliar with the repertoire. In only a decade they have achieved great international acclaim, producing some of the most exciting Bach recordings of recent years, including a rewarding Magnificat. The four Cantatas here--BWV136, BWV138, BWV95 and BWV46--were written for church services in Leipzig and first performed between 18 July and 12 September, 1723. None are especially well known, but Bach's immense musicality and invention make them essential listening nevertheless. --Gary S Dalkin
