The choir and the orchestra of the Bach Collegium Japan, stars among the celebrated baroque specialists, perform the "St. John Passion" with only a small ensemble of about 50 musicians (as was the 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.
