We present a special episode of Concertzender Live on Thursday evening 16 June at 20:00. With some pride, we broadcast our recordings of the performance of the Hohe Messe by Bach performed by  Bach
Collegium Japan led by Masaaki Suzuki on last 19 April in the
Concertgebouw. Preceding, an exclusive interview with Masaaki
Suzuki, held by Govert Jan Bach.
On Tuesday 19 April 2016, a memorable performance took place
of the Mass in b minor, BWV
232 (Hohe Messe) by Johann Sebastian Bach by the Japanese conductor
and Bach expert Masaaki Suzuki.
With his Bach Collegium Japan, he managed to get an almost fully
booked Grote Zaal of the
Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
The performance by Suzuki became
a
memorable experience and approached perfection.
The Concertzender had the great privilege to be present at this event!
In the Hohe Messe,
Bach used melodies from his whole oeuvre, however, it is
no motley combination. Rejoicing and intimate, dramatic and tranquil:
the Hohe Messe gives voice to the cycle of life and death. And the expectation of eternity which follows.
Performers:
- Bach Collegium Japan
- Conductor Masaaki Suzuki
- Joanne Lunne and Hana Blažíková – soprano
- Robin Blaze – countertenor
- Makoto Sakurada – tenor
- Dominik Wörner – bass
This episode of Concertzender Live
is hosted by Joop van Zijl, known

An introductory hour will be broadcast preceding Concertzender Live, at
19:00, with an exclusive interview held by Govert Jan Bach with Masaaki Suzuki before the concert.
