“As I started to understand the great possibilities of minimalist style, my mind began to make connections to the same techniques – specifically the manipulation of patterns and ‘cells’ of material—as practiced by composers of the 17th and 18th centuries,” says Iranian harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani.
Esfahani’s Deutsche Grammaphon debut, Time Present and Time Past, features a mix of baroque era Harpsichord pieces, like Bach, and minimalist modern pieces like Reich. Hear Mahan Esfahani and much more from 8 to 10 p.m. on KUAF.
You can also stream the program in its entirety here until July 19.
