Difficult to answer, but everyone who preferred a cool bath or the national team missed a lot. Because for Esfahani, contemporary music is not just a chore, but on the same level as the Renaissance and Baroque, in order to get into tension with tones themselves and to transfer them to the audience.
Electroacoustic worlds
Between Thomas Talli’s virtuoso Felix namque and Orlando Gibbons Pavane in G minor, what is probably the very first composition for harpsichord and electronics fits in extremely homogeneously. The formal concept of the concert for harpsichord and magnetic tape by the composer Josef Tal is based on the classical model, but replaces the orchestra with electroacoustic sounds. Oscar Jockel deals with the sound world of harpsichord and electronics in a completely different way. In the piece “honey.meer.licht”, which was performed for the first time, the instrument is integrated into an electroacoustic soundscape with seemingly endless cascades of trills. Esfahani also premiered the piece “Les lotophages” by the Korean composer Jinwook Jung that evening. He worked with small motifs that impressed in their scarcity.
On top of that there was the extended “Overture to Orpheus” by the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen. (wruss)
Conclusion: Mahan Esfahani also played the program with absolute dedication and technical perfection for the small group of connoisseurs. A game of football couldn’t be better or more exciting.
