Johann Sebastian Bach
The Art of Fugue BWV 1080
–
Mahan Esfahani | harpsichord
Mahan Esfahani is not a man who sets himself small goals. For this concert he has chosen the greatest polyphonic work of all time. Bach's The Art of the Fugue is so complicated that musicologists argue about whether it is even possible to perform it on one instrument. But that a top harpsichordist will succeed is a foregone conclusion. After all, he has succeeded in all his challenges so far, whether it be studying at Stanford, a recital at the BBC Proms or at Wigmore Hall!
