In the organizer's words:

Masaaki Suzuki Organ

Masaaki Suzuki is an institution when it comes to Bach! Born in 1954 as the child of Protestant Christians in Kobe, Japan, he was already playing the church organ at the age of twelve. He became known in the Western music world primarily through his Bach Collegium Japan, founded in 1990, and his multi-award-winning recording of all Bach cantatas. However, the 2011 Musikfest prizewinner has always remained true to playing the organ and has been working on a complete recording of Bach's organ works on historical instruments since 2015. With its 46 stops and 2,527 pipes, Dietrich Christoph Gloger's organ in Otterndorf, which was reopened in October 2024 after extensive restoration, is one of the largest baroque organs in northern Germany. There is no question that Masaaki Suzuki will make optimum use of this instrument's possibilities for a powerful registration. With his pronounced sense for both large contexts and filigree details, the selected Bach works will be a sublime experience!
