# Bach Collegium Japan with Roderick Williams & Masaaki Suzuki

Masaaki Suzuki led an ensemble of 11 stellar musicians from the illustrious Bach Collegium Japan. They were joined by British baritone Roderick Williams, a distinguished figure on opera and concert stages worldwide. At the forefront of the world's early music ensembles, the Collegium is admired for its superb artistry and "unmatched excellence" (Gramophone) in the music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries. Suzuki is both harpsichordist and conductor in this thoughtfully chosen program of Bach, Telemann and a slightly younger compatriot, the "stile galant" composer Johann Gottlieb Janitsch. Williams is featured in two solo cantatas, including the transcendent "Ich habe genug." Program: \[0:39\] Johann Sebastian Bach, Orchestral Suite in B minor, BWV 1067; \[21:05\] Johann Gottlieb Janitsch, Sonata da Camera in G minor, "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden"; \[39:49\] Georg Philipp Telemann, Cantata "Der am Ölberg zagende Jesus," TWV 1:364; \[58:07\] Georg Philipp Telemann, "Pariser" Quartet in D major, TWV 43:D3; \[1:15:54\] Johann Sebastian Bach, Cantata "Ich have genug," BWV 82; \[1:39:08\] Encore: Johann Sebastian Bach, Cantata "Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen," BWV 66: "Lasset dem Höchstein ein Danklied erschallen"
