中文名：日本巴赫古乐团 外文名：Bach Collegium Japan 别名：日本巴赫研究会乐团 国籍：日本 成立时间：1990 简介：Bach Collegium Japan was founded in 1990 by Masaaki Suzuki, its inspirational Music Director, with the aim of introducing Japanese audiences to period instrument performances of great works from the baroque period. Comprised of both baroque orchestra and chorus, their activities include an annual concert series of Bach's cantatas and a number of instrumental programmes. Since 1995 they have acquired a formidable international reputation through their acclaimed recordings of the major choral works and Church Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach for the BIS label. To date, they have already released 49 CDs of J. S. Bach's Church Cantatas and their recent recording of Bach Motets was honoured with a German Record Critics' Award (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik), Diapason d'Or de l'Annee 2010 and also in 2011 with a BBC Music Magazine Award. Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki have shared their interpretations across the international music scene with appearances in venues as far afield as Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York and Seoul and at major festivals such as the BBC Proms, Bremen Musikfest and the Edinburgh International Festival. Celebrating their 20th anniversary with a series of special concerts in Tokyo, last season also featured performances at the Hong Kong Arts Festival, a tour of North America during which they performed Bach's B-minor Mass at Carnegie Hall and European festival appearances including the Musikfest Bremen where the ensemble are regular visitors. 从艺历程：该乐团由铃木昌明于 1990 年创立，他现在仍担任该乐团的音乐总监 。 自成立以来，乐团成为了广受欢迎的表演者，并与马克斯·范·埃格蒙德、南希·阿根塔、克里斯托夫·普雷加尔迪恩、彼得·库伊、哈娜·布拉日科娃、莫妮卡·弗里默、迈克尔·钱斯、凯·韦塞尔、格尔德·图尔克、迈克尔·绍珀和 Concerto Palatino等欧洲艺术家合作 。 他们曾在亚洲、欧洲和北美巡演，并在爱丁堡艺术节、香港艺术节、塞万提诺国际音乐节、莱比锡巴赫音乐节、俄勒冈巴赫音乐节、波士顿早期音乐节和BBC 逍遥音乐会等文化节上演出。 乐团成立五年后，开始录制巴赫全部康塔塔，并于 2013 年完成。他们与瑞典唱片公司BIS合作，将该作品在神户大学的一座基督教教堂演出，该教堂是日本为数不多的规模足以正式演奏此类作品的基督教教堂之一。这些录音占乐团 99 张专辑总唱片数量的一半以上。
