His achievements in these fields obscured the fact that Suzuki originally trained as an organist, and began working as such at the age of twelve. So when Volume 1 of this series reached reviewers around the world, it was something of a revelation to many: the disc went on to be named Choice of the Month in BBC Music Magazine, Diapason d\\x92Or in Diapason and Recording of the Month in Gramophone, which then went on to include it on its list of the \\x9150 Greatest Bach Recordings\\x92. Volume 1 featured the celebrated Schnitger\/Hinz organ of Groningen\\x92s Martinikerk in the Netherlands. For the present instalment, Suzuki returned to more familiar ground \\x96 the chapel of the Kobe Shoin Women's University where the great majority of his recordings with Bach Collegium Japan have taken place. The chapel houses a French classical organ built in 1983 by Marc Garnier, and on it Suzuki performs a highly symmetrical programme with the large-scale chorale partita BWV 768 at its centre. The work is known as \\x91Sei gegr\\xfc\\xdfet, Jesu g\\xfctig\\x92, although the chorale text that it is structured upon most probably is that of \\x91O Jesu, du edle Gabe\\x92. On either side the partita is flanked by an arrangement by Bach of concertos by Vivaldi, and a chorale prelude on \\x91Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier\\x92. The disc opens and closes with a Prelude and Fugue, in G major and C major respectively.\u003cp\u003ePrelude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFugue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiebster Jesu, Wir Sind Hier, BWV730\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
