Praised by The Times for his "daring and fiery performances" and by Opera Today as "the leading harpsichordist of his generation", the young Iranian-born Mahan Esfahani is the first harpsichordist to be named a BBC New Generation Artist and to be awarded a fellowship prize by the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. With a repertoire that spans four centuries, Esfahani works to take the harpsichord beyond the realm of "early music" and to major festivals and series in the mainstream of classical music.
"The Harpsichord comes out of hiding... magnificent." The Daily Telegraph
