Reviews:

Of all the current doyens of modern Bach performance, Masaaki Suzuki knows no limits to his explorations. This is a dazzling recital (from a musician better known as a director-harpsichordist) discerningly assembled and held aloft by three great pillars: the ubiquitous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV565; the Pièce d’orgue, BWV572, with Bach whisking the French 17th century from under its own nose; and, to conclude, the great Prelude and Fugue in E minor, BWV548 (the Wedge). If one’s reflexive default at the prospect of an organ recording – even an exquisitely curated Bach one – is one of dispassionate or nonchalant resistance, this recording is as likely to turn ears as any made.

– Gramophone

One of the most versatile of all Bachians, Masaaki Suzuki still manages to spring a surprise with this outstanding recital. From its woody chuff to bright rasp, the instrument is superbly captured here and Suzuki uses it with flair and imagination. Both this performance of Von Himmel Hoch and that of the pungent Pastorale breathe with the best seasonal spirit.
