Since founding the Bach Collegium Japan in 1990, Masaaki
Suzuki has become one of the most inspirational conductors
of 18th Century music. The New York Times applauded “a
subtle ear for color, a keen sense of harmonic direction and
an ability to make phrases breathe and rhythms live.” One of
Haydn’s darkest symphonies, No.44 belongs to a small group
of minor-key symphonies dating from the 1770s. Brooding
undercurrents are swept aside in Mendelssohn’s sunny and
exuberant Italian symphony which culminates in a footstomping
tarantella.
