MAHAN ESFAHANI | JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH The
Well-Tempered Clavier (Mahan Esfahani's ambitious
Bach cycle reaches its peak with a complete
recording of The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1.
Written in 1722, these 24 Preludes and Fugues in all major
and minor keys remain one of the supreme achievements of
Western music. Esfahani performs on a German
double-manual harpsichord built by Huw Saunders, based on
an instrument thought to have belonged to Bach himself. This
rare chance to hear the music on harpsichord - the instrument
for which it was originally conceived - illuminates the work's
colour, articulation and expressive depth. Already the
recipient of a Gramophone Award, BBC Music Magazine
Awards, Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Opus Klassik
Recording of the Year, Diapason d'Or, Choc de Classica,
and an ICMA, Esfahani has established himself as the
foremost harpsichordist of his generation. This Hyperion
2-CD release further confirms his standing.
