BIS present the deluxe 15CD limited edition version of the celebrated Bach & Beyond boxset.
Featuring selected recordings by Masaaki Suzuki & the Bach Collegium Japan, of vocal & instrumental works by J.S. Bach & other composers, Bach & Beyond is an absolutely outstanding collection.
Widely regarded as one of the foremost interpreters of Bach’s music today, Masaaki Suzuki has made his name both as the artistic director of the Bach Collegium Japan & as a performer on harpsichord & organ.
While the BCJ/Suzuki series of Bach Cantatas (begun in 1995 & now up to Vol. 46 of a projected 55!) has been hailed by international press & acquired a worldwide following, this collaboration between BIS & BCJ/Suzuki has seen numerous other recordings taking place beyond the cantatas - and Bach himself…
Some of these acclaimed recordings can now be found in this limited edition boxset, released in connection with the 20th anniversary of Bach Collegium Japan this year.
Apart from Bach himself, Bach & Beyond also features works by Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Handel, J.S. Bach’s son Carl Philipp Emmanuel & many more; works included are from a wide range of genres, including vocal music, instrumental, secular & sacred, scores involving large forces as well as solo works.
