Es gehört zu Weihnachten wie Christstollen und der Weihnachtsbaum: Johann Sebastian Bachs »Weihnachtsoratorium«. Mit Masaaki Suzuki steht dabei einer der profiliertesten Bach-Dirigenten unserer Tage am Pult, der für seine zahlreichen Bach-Aufnahmen mit Preisen geradezu überhäuft wurde.

Die Einspielung der Bach-Kantaten – unglaubliche 55 CDs, entstanden in einem Zeitraum von fast 20 Jahren – gilt als eine der Referenzaufnahmen. Und auch mit Bachs Messen, Passionen und Oratorien hat sich der japanische Dirigent, ein Bach-Besessener im allerbesten Wortsinn, intensiv auseinandergesetzt. Gleich zu Beginn des »Weihnachtsoratoriums« sorgen die sprichwörtlichen Pauken und Trompeten für reichlich Festtagsstimmung, und auch danach wird die Weihnachtsgeschichte mit mitreißenden Chören und trompetengekrönten Arien erzählt.

It's as much a part of Christmas as Stollen and the Christmas tree: Johann Sebastian Bach's "Christmas Oratorio." With Masaaki Suzuki, one of the most prominent Bach conductors of our time will be at the podium, who has been showered with awards for his numerous Bach recordings.

The recording of the Bach cantatas - an incredible 55 CDs, created over a period of almost 20 years - is considered one of the reference recordings. And the Japanese conductor, a Bach obsessive in the very best sense of the word, also dealt intensively with Bach's masses, passions and oratorios. Right at the beginning of the “Christmas Oratorio,” the proverbial timpani and trumpets create a great holiday atmosphere, and even afterwards the Christmas story is told with rousing choirs and trumpet-filled arias.
