The Bach Collegium Japan (= BCJ) was founded in 1990 by Masaaki Suzuki, who remains its music director, with the aim of introducing Japanese audiences to great works of the baroque era on period instruments. As the name of the ensemble indicates, its main focus has been the works of J.S. Bach and those composers of German Protestant music who preceded and influenced him, such as Dietrich Buxtehude, Heinrich Schütz, Johann Hermann Schein and Georg Böhm. |
