Nu står Påsken for døren, men du kan stadig lige nå det, hvis du skal have inspiration til lidt kreative påskesysler

The gramophone, 2020 Awards
"Editor's choice: Here we have a reading that feels as if, deep in the psyche of the performers, they know this is all happening close to the wire. Gilchrist is again on masterly form, risking pinpoint precision for graphic description in a way that makes the experience feel `live' in every respect ... Suzuki takes us as co-travellers in a search of faith, not necessarily assuming us all as believers ... This extraordinarily vital, human and emotional rendering joins the recent "St Matthews" in another effulgent release of exceptional expressive candour and range ... and gives us a pair of Passions at the high table of modern Bach discography"

"In Summe macht das Solistenquartett den Stimmenfreund zwar nicht glücklich, überzeugt aber musikalisch. Der von den Solisten verstärkte Chor singt mit sehr kontrolliertem Timbre über dem konsequenten Nonvibrato-Spiel des Ensembles, das immer im federnden Modus bleibt. Die Interpretation wahrt einen kammermusikalischen Grundcharakter, gediegen und doch emotional, grelle Klangfarben und krasse Artikulationen meidend"

"On 6 of March 2020, Bach Collegium Japan began their long-awaited 30th anniversary tour of Europe with a performance of Bach's St John Passion ... Concert halls across Europe were closing down and the remaining tour dates were cancelled. Before making their return to Japan, the BCJ agreed with the Kölner Philharmonie to go ahead with the concert that had been planned, in the form of a live streaming without an audience ... and the idea was born to use it for making a recording ... Over the next few days, Suzuki, the BCJ and a team of soloists headed by James Gilchrist as the Evangelist, recorded Bach's rendering of the Passion of Christ, finishing just ahead of complete lockdown. Their efforts are now available on disc as a testimony not only to the drama of Bach's score, but also to the urgency of a week when the world changed"

Klassisk, 2021, nr. 60
"Evangelisten James Gilchrist leder os ... fremragende gennem historien, ligesom tenoren Zachary Wilder gør det i sine arier ... Den tjekkiske sopran Hana Blažíková er flot og slank i toppen, men bassen Christian Immler gør det næsten bedre som både bas og Jesus. Det er dog kor- og orkesterarbejdet, der skiller sig særligt ud i denne produktion - det er simpelthen Spitzenklasse ... Tak til Massaki Suzuki og hans Bach Collegium Japan for at have stået alle pinsler imod og foretaget denne indspilning"

"Recommended: The first time I put the disc that contains Part One into the player I was rocked back on my heels. I can't readily recall hearing an account of the opening chorus that is so urgent ... It sets the tone for much of what is to follow. This is a taut and dramatic account of the St John Passion ... Suzuki's principal soloists are all excellent ... The singers of Bach Collegium Japan are magnificent throughout ... The 21 instrumentalists of Bach Collegium Japan are just as impressive as their chorus colleagues and never once was I anything other than delighted by the obbligato contributions to the arias ... When one thinks of the pressure under which this recording came into being, I can only take my hat off ... By any measure it is a considerable achievement and a major addition to the discography of both Bach Collegium Japan and this great masterpiece"
