Mahan Esfahani - Bach: The French Suites [CD]

'Mahan Esfahani couldn't make a routine recital of Bach's keyboard music if you paid him' was BBC Record Review's verdict on a previous release. Prospective listeners to this wonderful new set should rest assured that any hint of the routine remains as distant a threat as ever.

"there is much to enjoy in playing that displays poise and expressive nuance as well as virtuosity." – BBC Music Magazine
