Bach Collegium Japan is 30 years old? I’m starting to feel like Methuselah...

It was quite a coup getting Suzuki Snr and Jnr together on EMS. It was interesting to hear how the group was set up initially, especially having to get vocal students 'trained up' to sing and understand Bach. I only heard half the programme (I was travelling) but will catch up on part 2 asap.
