Mahan Esfahani – Bach: The French Suites (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

‘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.
