Masaaki Suzuki at 70

Hannah French talks to Japanese organist and conductor Masaaki Suzuki on his 70th birthday. Plus Mark Seow joins Hannah to chat through the latest goings-on in early music.

Hannah French talks to the great Japanese conductor, organist and Bach expert Masaaki Suzuki on his 70th birthday. He shares his love for Romantic music and its influence on his interpretations of Bach, explains how creative tensions in rehearsal fuel his ensemble Bach Collegium Japan's passions, and discusses how he discovered the perfect sound for Bach's organ works by hunting out historical instruments in East Germany.

Mark Seow joins Hannah in the studio to chat through the latest goings-on in the early music world, including some of their favourite recent and forthcoming releases from the likes of The Gesualdo Six and the Irish Baroque Orchestra.

Plus Hannah hears from some of the winning groups at this year's REMA Awards, the European Early Music Network's prizes that were awarded at the Stockholm Early Music Festival earlier this month.

Producer: David Fay.
