Bach’s Coffeehouse brings together a selection of Apollo’s Fire recordings – old and new alike – featuring repertoire that is believed to have been performed at Café Zimmerman in Leipzig, the city where Johann Sebastian Bach served as Cantor. Coffee houses were all the rage at the time, centres for socialising and musical soirees. Bach would have found respite from his formal duties as Cantor, by curating informal concerts at the thriving coffee emporium. Bach’s Coffeehouse features new recordings of Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 with virtuoso soloists Alan Choo, the Singaporean violinist and Assistant Artistic Director of Apollo’s Fire, and recorder player Daphna Mohr; the Double Concerto for Oboe and Violin with Debra Nagy and violinist Johanna Novom; and “Air on a G String” from Orchestral Suite No. 3. Rounding out the album, Apollo’s Fire brings back catalogue favourites by two of Bach’s contemporaries: Telemann’s swaggering Don Quixote Suite, and Vivaldi’s fiery “La folia”, featuring Alan Choo and Spanish violinist Francisco Fullana.
