Christoph Sietzen & Mahan Esfahani
»Keys & Strikes«: Harpsichord meets percussion

Percussion & Harpsichord – a duo full of surprises
What a meeting: Christoph Sietzen, a jack of all trades in percussion, meets Mahan Esfahani, one of the most fascinating harpsichordists of our time. With their duo programme, the two explore the captivating and enchanting liaison between harpsichord and percussion.
There are a few works that were written specifically for the magnificent combination of harpsichord and percussion and are well worth discovering. Johann Sebastian Bach was not yet familiar with this combination – but his music is ideally suited to it. Christoph Sietzen and Mahan Esfahani move confidently through music history, inspiring each other and impressing with their own improvisations.
