Life
After a successful career as a modern cellist in his home country, he left Japan in the 1980s to study with the renowned cellist Anner Bylsma . During this time he developed into one of the leading baroque cellists in Europe. He was a member of La Petite Bande , Frans Brüggens “ Orchestra of the 18th Century ” and the “Boccherini Quartet Tokyo”. As a lecturer, he has taught at the Academy Of Early Music in Amsterdam and the Royal Conservatory in Brussels . Students were among others Antje Geusen , Christoph Theinert and Mime Yamahiro .
He now lives in Japan again, is a member of the Bach Collegium Japan and directs the "Orchestra Libera" he founded, which specializes in the interpretation of the works of the 18th century on original instruments. Together with fellow musicians Ryo Terakado and Sophie Gent (baroque violins) and Yoshiko Morita (viola) he forms the quartet "Mito dell'Arco".
Suzuki advocates gut strings on the violoncello with conviction. Together with the Mexican bow maker Luis Emilio Rodriguez, he influenced the modern reconstruction of historical bow bows without fire bending.
His repertoire ranges from the baroque to the 19th century. Particularly noteworthy are his recording of the cello sonatas by Francesco Geminiani , the works for cello and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven , as well as the cello concertos by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach .
