Of the three or four best Old Music groups in the world – and here I’m thinking of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Monteverdi Choir – I think the Bach Collegium Japan consistently creates the most personal, intimate musical experiences. Of course, this I glean only from recordings and videos, but frankly, it’s even harder to make that quality come across on recorded media.
