Mahan Esfahani's first concert album for Hyperion with works by Bohuslav Martinů, Hans Krása and Viktor Kalabis had already received outstanding reviews. Gramophone said: "(...) an unalloyed joy (...) If I encounter an album as good as this one this year I will be overjoyed." The Times wrote: "Esfahani's fingers never stop sparkling (...) Esfahani's crusades for his instrument know no bounds."

The award ceremonies for the Opus Klassik took place on 7 October 2023 in the Elisabeth Church and on 8 October 2023 in the Konzerthaus Berlin.
