Mahan Esfahani, Cembalo

In the organizer's words:

Harpsichordist of the present day

Pomp, flourishes and wigs - when it comes to the harpsichord, many people think primarily of the Baroque era. But at the beginning of the 20th century, the instrument, which had been forgotten in the meantime, experienced a true renaissance. Mahan Esfahani presents classics from this period and even more contemporary works that catapult the harpsichord from the past into the present.
