Live from his home in Prague(!), harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani plays a selection of usual Bach harpsichord suspects:  stuff than which there is nothing better to listen to in the world.  Esfahani's rhythms are occasionally a bit on the clunky side, but his interpretations of pieces you might have heard hundreds of times never ever fail to provoke thought.  Fans of this music know what to do.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Modern Lemonade:  pour 1-1/2 oz. each of Fino or Manzanilla Sherry and Sloe Gin, and 2 oz. lemon juice, with 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into a Highball glass over ice.  Top with club soda.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
