Bach: Coffee Cantata “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht” etc. / Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood
It is an “opera buffa” in Bach’s hands. It is hard to believe instantly at first that the same Bach who wrote the “Matthew Passion” wrote this piece. A pleasant subject matter and the light-hearted singing of Emma Kirkby adds to the atmosphere of the record. It is thought that this piece was performed at the “Cafe Zimmermann” in Leipzig, and no doubt would have helped to promote the shop. #baroque #bach #cantata #片山俊幸
