Handel & Scarlatti for harpsichord

Mahan Esfahani is the first harpsichordist in a generation whose work spans virtually all areas of classical music-making, including acclaimed performances of standard repertoire, collaborations with composers, and international symphony appearances with major orchestras. He was a BBC New Generation Artist, Borletti-Buitoni prize winner, three-time Gramophone nominee, and Wigmore Medal recipient in 2022.

‘Such virtuosity and disarming presentation suggests that Esfahani could inspire a whole new appreciation of the instrument.’ – The Guardian

‘Exhaustingly brilliant.’ – New York Times
