Description: Thanks to this recording, Bach's is no longer the only "Coffee Cantata" and Bernier's is every bit as sparkling or, should I say, caffeinated. The other large work is the obscure Gillier's sequence of instrumental and vocal pieces influenced by his teacher Michel Lambert. French-English texts. Sara Macliver (soprano), Ensemble Battistin.
