Description:
[A Musical Journey Through the Spread of Coffee, Presented by a Multidisciplinary Ensemble] At their 2019 Japan tour as part of La Folle Journée, Ensemble Mask vividly brought to life the grand travels of European nobility from 300 years ago through music, accompanied by Tetsuya Bessho’s masterful narration. It’s no wonder their performances were consistently sold out—this internationally renowned, multi-artistic ensemble’s latest album, released on the Alpha label, explores the theme of “The Spread of Coffee.” Tracing the flow of coffee culture as it spread from the Middle East to Europe, while incorporating traditional Middle Eastern music, this is a superb project that conveys just how diverse and captivating the music of major cities during the Baroque era was. The ensemble’s superb musicality—composed entirely of renowned, in-demand virtuosos—brings out the ingenuity of the song selection… This album is packed with the unique charm of 18th-century music that can only be fully appreciated when performed on period instruments. It’s also a delight to hear Bach’s “Coffee Cantata”—for which there are surprisingly few new recordings—in its entirety as part of such a meticulously curated album. Given the program’s high conceptual quality, the depth of the liner notes is another highlight. With cantatas by Bernier—a hidden gem of a composer who helped shape the era following the death of Louis XIV—and Middle Eastern music featuring folk instruments like the ney and the zalb adding interest at various points, the experience of having the allure of coffee enjoyed by people of the Baroque era overlap with musical excitement is truly unique.
