A few weeks ago I posted an illustration of Jean Rondeau and Mahan Esfahani by Peter Van Eenoge, āthe rebel hapsichordistsāĀ as The New Yorker dubbed them. Iād already seen Esfahani three years ago in Leipzig, and last night was Rondeauās turn... and it was fabulous. Iām still under the spell of his chaconne.
As an encore he played the aria of the Goldberg Variations Ā I hope Iāll get a chance to see him in this program soon (my next scheduled GV live concert will be Pierre-Laurent Aimard early next year. Should be pretty great too)
