Mahan Esfahani's first concerto album for Hyperion is everything the listener could wish for: definitive performances of three marvellous - and unexpected - works by three of the last century's Czech masters.
"An unalloyed joy from first chord to last...The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra's accompaniment is sensitive and ideal, and Esfahani plays like an angel." Gramophone Editor's Choice Feb 2023
Gramophone award finalist 2023 - Concerto
" It's an ear-opening recording..In all three works, Esfahani's unfussy yet attention-grabbing playing strikes sparks off the musicians of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra and their conductor, Alexander Liebreich." The Guardian
