Mahan Esfahani by Byrd, Bach, J. S., De (2023/2023), Temple Church, London, United Kingdom

Iranian-American harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani, who last year became the youngest ever recipient of the Wigmore Medal, presents a wonderful selection of works from these hugely important collections. His lunchtime recital concludes with the last of Bach's English Suites, with its grand Prelude, majestic double Sarabande and a veritable totentanz of a Gigue! "Such virtuosity and disarming presentation suggests that Esfahani could inspire a whole new appreciation of the instrument" The Guardian "Esfahani has firmly established himself as one of today's most thrilling harpsichordists" Gramophone Magazine
