    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.
