Sarah Connolly and Mahan Esfahani
Live from London's Wigmore Hall, Sarah Connolly and Mahan Esfahani perform songs and keyboard music spanning five centuries, from Dowland to Andriessen with WF Bach in between.
Live from Wigmore Hall: mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly is joined by harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani in a programme which spans five centuries of song. The partnership of Dame Sarah with Mahan Esfahani promises to be both stimulating and thought provoking, as the harpsichordist swaps his harpsichord for the modern piano in Britten's lovingly reworked accompaniments to some of Purcell most famous songs.
