Mahan Esfahani
The Art of Fugue
No one has done more to popularise the harpsichord as a concert instrument in the present day than Iranian-American virtuoso Mahan Esfahani. Patron of the Keble Early Music Festival, he returns to perform J S Bach’s great swan song, ‘The Art of Fugue’, often cited as the summit of contrapuntal ingenuity, and amongst the greatest achievements in Western music.
