  • @NorbertZF Maybe they felt like they wanted an ouverture to this production so they just took the ouverture from the peasant cantata?

  • @NorbertZF "Expert?"...hardly. Knowledgeable, yes. If Bach is to be performed one way only, and according to your studies, then why do the rest of us bother to be degreed in performance? Why do Koopman, Suzuki and Les Boreades de Montreal even bother since L,H and H closed the canon on interpreting Bach? A closed mind can let no light in!!!

  • @redbrian3655

    Well EXCUSE ME! Guess when I was studying early music performance practices, it was all just a load of BULL! I guess people like Leonhardt, Harnoncourt, Hogwood and me are all just full of it! Didn't know I was posting to such an "expert!"

  • @NorbertZF First of all, BIG DEAL!!!! The Overture to the "Peasant" works well here for staging purposes, and secondly, YOU WERE NOT THERE when Bach did this at Zimmerman's Coffee Shop. Who knows what he did and how it was performed. The fact that Bach was made accessible to people in English, AND THEY WERE GREATLY ENTERTAINED speaks volumes about the necessity for these kind of performances.

  • First of all, wrong title. This is the overture to the "Peasant Cantata" and not the "Coffee Cantata". "Coffee" doesn't have an overture. Secondly, Bach never wrote any operas. This is a "cantata", not to be staged with costumes and acting. Musicology majors eh? Better go back to class!!!

  • J. S. Bach wrote it. It's the overture to the "Peasants' Cantata", BWV 211.

  • who wrote the overture?

  • Although the rendidion of the doctrine is bland in this performance, it is a fairly well played authentic performance (despite the absence of the baroque tuning).

  • the orchestra plays too loud & with not too much musicality.
