The choir and the orchestra of the Bach Collegium Japan--shooting star among the celebrated baroque specialists--perform the "St. John Passion" with only a small ensemble of about 50 musicians (as was custom in Bach's day) under the former Ton Koopman-student Masaaki Suzuki.
Soloists: Gerd Tuerck, Stephan MacLeod, Chiyuki Urano, Miduri Suzuki, and Robin Blaze.
