BISSACD1841 - Bach Collegium Japan - Bach Motets

Masaaki Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan have taken a short break from Bachs cantatas in order to record these Motets, remarkable for their expressiveness and beauty as well as for Bachs virtuoso choral writing. Rather than performing a cappella, Suzuki has included accompaniments from organ and different combinations of strings and wind instruments. But nevertheless it is the singers of the Bach Collegium Japan that stand in the limelight here and as followers of the Cantata series will already know, it is a marvellous choir, a choir to dream of (Diapason). Included on the disc are the six motets BWV 225-231, as well as BWV 118 O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht and BWV Anh. 159 Ich lasse dich
