Mahan Esfahani’s mammoth project to record the complete keyboard works of Bach reaches a new high point with The Complete Keyboard Concertos.

At every stage in the series Esfahani has sought to challenge long-held assumptions about the composer we seek to know. By teaming up with the Britten Sinfonia, he dispels any assumptions that the harpsichord might be seen as an ‘ancient’ instrument, eschewing period instruments in favour of modern ones.
