We hope that everyone had a joyous Christmas. And what better way to catch our breath after all the dishes have been washed and the wrapping paper discarded than with a nice cup of coffee? On December 26, in 1865, James Mason of Franklin, Massachusetts registered the first U.S. patent for a coffee percolator. So, in honor of the ivnention of this ESSENTIAL modern convenience, we offer a freshly brewed performance of J.S. bachs beloved Coffee Cantata BWV 211, Schweight stille, plaudert nicht, performed by Christine Schäfer soprano, James Taylor tenor, Thomas Quasthoff bass, and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart directed by Helmuth Rilling. https://play.spotify/track/7rgBMymTz2lQmaxbH9F7HW
