[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]

Release Date: Sunday 1 July 2018

HOME: A concept album combining Kian's Austrian and Persian roots, reflected in the choice of repertoire: Cello highlights including one of the most famous Schubert pieces: Arpeggione.

World premiere recording of Iranian composer Reza Vali's Seven Persian Folk Songs, written for and dedicated to the young cellist and world premiere recording of Kian Soltani's own composition Fire Dance.

Growing international tour schedule incl. Boulez Saal Berlin, Carnegie Hall New York, Royal Festival Hall London & Philhamonie Paris.

Kian is a protegée of Anne-Sophie Mutter and Daniel Barenboim, has been a member of Mutter's Virtuosi as well as a member of the West-Eastern-Divan-Orchestra and the new founded Boulez-Ensemble.

"The overriding impression is of a watertight musical partnership, one's attention divided equally between cellist and pianist….[Soltani] has all the qualities needed to win consistent critical acclaim, namely innate musicality, a yielding, svelte tone, an agile bowing arm and a skilful deployment of varied vibrato. Listening to him is a great pleasure." Gramophone
