Mahan Esfahani performs at Wigmore Hall

'Esfahani marches and dances, sings, swaggers, and prays, with a sensitive balance of delicacy and vigour. He brings intelligence and grace to the Ricercars and a canon from Bach’s Musical Offering, their contrapuntal lines spun with limpid clarity. These eclectic soundscapes are splashed with the exotic colours of Hungarian folk music and the acidulous tunings of mean-tone temperament.’ Kate Bolton
