Which music would Bach, his family, and his friends have performed on summer afternoons at the famous Zimmermann's Coffeehouse in Leipzig? He was in charge of their Collegium Musicum, founded by Telemann, in the 1730's. This programme presents pieces that likely were part of these events: Bach's own Brandenburg 5, a spectacular flute concerto by František Benda, one of Telemann's sublime Paris quartets, and an orchestral overture (BWV 1070) which for a long time was attributed to Johann Sebastian, but may rather be by his son Wilhelm Friedemann: a rarely performed little gem.
