Bach - Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht, ’Kaffeekantate’ BWV 211 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

In Bach’s day, drinking coffee was certainly not without controversy. The text in this Kaffeekantate ’Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht’, here performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, tells of a girl who is addicted and of women who know their own mind, and sexual innuendo is never far away.

This recording was made possible by the support of the Eleven Floawers Foundation.
