Was this the first time we saw Mahan Esfahani? Probably. This concert is listed on Esfahani’s Wikipedia entry (at the time of writing) as his first major concert.
Was this the first time we heard a composition by J G Goldberg (he of Goldberg variations fame)? For sure.
A delightful concert as always by this low key but consistently masterful lot.

A very relaxing end to the weekend.
Wondering what the Johann Gottlieb Goldberg concerto might sound like? Rather splendidly beautiful is the answer. Here is a classic recording with Eliza Hansen tinkling the ebonies.
