Description
Mahan Esfahani's first concerto album for Hyperion is everything the listener could wish for: definitive performances of three marvellous—and unexpected—works by three of the last century's Czech masters.
JS Bach: Italian Concerto & French Overture (CDA68336): "This is edgy, hyper-attentive playing, with rhythmic figures etched with a sharp, swift and precise stylus."
- Gramophone
JS Bach: The Six Partitas (CDA68311-2): "There's no questioning Esfahani's inquring musical mind and absolute mastery of his instrument."
- Gramophone
"Crisply recorded, this is a most attractive disc – thoughtful, trim, tensile and brilliantly communicative. […] this disc is a winner." – MusicWeb International
"Mahan Esfahani and the orchestra give excellent rhythmic performances of these Czech polytonal and atonal concertos, these works deserving a more recognised place in the history of 20th-century music." – Choir & Organ (4 STARS)
