Schumann (CD)

Artist: 
Kian Soltani
$32.99

The Cello Concerto by Robert Schumann (1810-1856) forms the centrepiece of Kian Soltani’s new album.

“His music is poetry – few other composers are as capable of triggering such powerful associations in me as Robert Schumann,” writes Kian Soltani in his own liner notes for his much-anticipated, all-Schumann release.

Together with Camerata Salzburg, the young cellist – described by Gramophone as “sheer perfection“ – simultaneous plays and conducts the monumental Cello Concerto, as well as orchestrated songs.

Additionally, the album includes a selection of Soltani’s most cherished lieder transcriptions, accompanied by pianist Julien Quentin.
