Mahan Esfahani bringt in dieser Einspielung der sechs Französischen Suiten von Johann Sebastian Bach seine ganze charismatische Musikalität ein. Die sechs Suiten werden dabei, der barocken Spielpraxis folgend, zwischen Cembalo und Clavichord aufgeteilt. In seinem wie immer anregenden Booklet-Text stellt sich Esfahani vor, mit Bach selbst zu kommunizieren, während er das Clavichord spielt, und es ist leicht, sich die enthusiastische Zustimmung des Komponisten vorzustellen, wenn er Aufführungen hört, die so sehr auf das Innenleben der Musik eingehen wie die vorliegende.
