Birmingham – Solo Recital – 22 February 2020 – Town Hall Birmingham – United Kingdom

For Mahan Esfahani, the harpsichord has never been a historic instrument. Everything he plays buzzes with the same irrepressible energy and intelligence; whether the music of the English renaissance (an Esfahani passion), or a modern rediscovery by Maconchy or Srnka. The Guardian hailed the “piercing insight” of his Bach: and for a select audience, up close in Town Hall, this should be a very special encounter with a really phenomenal artist.
