Review:
A fabulous recording
This is a very fine recording. Mahan Esfahani is a brilliant
harpsichordist and he is at his best in this repertoire, I think.
I have never found
Bach’s Keyboard Toccatas to be the most approachable of his works
so it says much for this disc that I find Esfahani’s
interpretations thoroughly enjoyable and engaging. He has the
technique to sail through the pretty extreme demands of the music and
the depth of understanding to bring out the meaning of these complex
works. The sound of his harpsichord is thrillingly rich and
beautifully captured by Hyperion.
In short, I think
this is a fabulous recording which I can recommend wholeheartedly.
