If you buy only one record of harpsichord music in your life . . . buy
this sensational album. The 30-year-old Iranian-American Mahan Esfahani
has been making waves among connoisseurs for several years. Now he
emerges as a superstar whose musicianship, imagination, virtuosity,
cultural breadth and charisma far transcends the ivory tower in which
the harpsichord has traditionally been placed . . . Where necessary,
Esfahani is brilliantly accompanied by Concerto Köln. Even their final
performance -- of JS Bach¿s Vivaldi-inspired harpsichord concerto in D
Minor, with its plangently lyrical slow movement -- has a delicious
twist. In the last movement Esfahani inserts a flamboyant cadenza by
Brahms, of all people. A truly magical mash-up of times past, present
and future.
¡Estupendo! Muchas gracias
