Aug. 16, 2019 | Tom Huizenga -- It's not every day someone walks into our NPR Music offices and unpacks an instrument made in 1680. And yet Kian Soltani, the 27-year-old cellist who plays with the authority and poetry of someone twice his age, isn't exactly fazed by his rare Giovanni Grancino cello, which produces large, luminous tones. (He also plays a Stradivarius.)
And if you think the notion of a cello recital isn't exactly sexy or thrilling, just take a look at Soltani; he radiates joy and ingenuity as he performs three pieces that offer virtuosity, sweet lyricism and fire.
The Hungarian Rhapsody, by the late 19th century cellist and composer David Popper, traces its inspiration to similarly titled pieces by Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms, but showcases a number of hot-dogging tricks for the cello, including stratospheric high notes, flamboyant slides and a specific high-velocity bouncing of the bow called sautillé. Soltani nails all of them with nonchalant elegance, backed with companionable accompaniment by pianist Christopher Schmitt.
To prove he can make his instrument truly sing, Soltani worked up his own arrangement of "Nacht und Träume" (Night and Dreams) by Franz Schubert, replacing the human voice with his cello's warm, intimate vocalizing. And in the Persian Fire Dance, Soltani's own composition, flavors from his Iranian roots - drones and spiky dance rhythms - commingle with percussive ornaments.
It all adds up to well-rounded, technically astute playing from a young cellist whose career is ascending in full flight.

I love Tiny Desk because I would never seek this type of music out but I am thoroughly enjoying it
exactly!!!!
@Stephen Doyle bro I should be tbh
@Joe Thunder It needn't be spendy.
Do you like tacos? Beer? So do a lot of cellists and pianists, and it only takes a few of them for something like this -- unlike a full orchestra.
I thought the same thing!
Such a great way to say it
Amazing. Kian is sweating...proof of his passion and excellence. Kudos to the pianist who turned his own page during a very fast passage of Popper. Kian's bow hand is to die for.
00:00 Hungarian Rhapsody David Popper (1843-1913)
07:56 Nacht und Träume Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
12:52 Persian Fire Dance Kian Soltani (1992- )
Clearly, a cellist who practices 40 hours a day.
amazing!
@@hb-km5ep -fixed
badhras if he can play it slow, he can play it fast
ling ling?
Practices 40 hours a day?!? MUST BE A WIZARD WITH A TIME-TURNER! PROOF MAGIC IS REAL!!! We finally got 'em, guys! We did it!
I saw this man live at the Cello Biennale in Amsterdam last year. He is absolutely fantastic, so glad this recording exists. Thanks NPR!
The Hungarian Rhapsody was bloody impressive, but the Schubert... Wow, just wow. How does a cello sing so beautifully? The intonation, the color, the phrasing, absolutely beautiful!
Kian Soltani is playing direct to the listeners " heart and soul " ! He is also so authentic in the way he performs , NO " "show off " on stage simply he is a true musician , he does not need to act !
Ear buds in, eyes closed, dark room, volume adjusted to just enough. Taking quite a musical voyage. Thank you.
OK! this tiny desk performance proves that Kian has crossed a considerable amount of height in cello-ism. to play popper in such an intense speedy tempo and then schubert he mimicked the human voice in such a delicate way and followed up with something he wrote and which was the bomb! like there has to be a new debate on who the current greatest cellist is!
This was all fantastic, but the "Soltani:Fire Dance" was amazing from beginning to end.
Mind-blowing talent and sensitivity. Incredible to hear Persian music composed from a Persian Austrian. With love, a Persian American ♥️
OMG! This took me from my childhood of watching the coyote chasing the roadrunner to very soothing to Celtic/Egyptian. I couldn't believe the oneness the musician had with that instrument.
I heard him perform live in Prague, and i still think about that performance 2 years later!
You don't always "have to be into this music" to appreciate great artist!
The Persian Fire Dance was *sick*. Can't wait for the album to come out.
Ugh, I love Kian's playing so much 😩😍
Since 3:00 am that I woke up this morning I have listened to this incredible mini concert many times throughout the day.
I am starting a savings fund just so I can go and see him play anywhere in the USA. On his next tour.
Just marvelous, thanks Tiny Desk!!
I LOVE how expressive he is! That's as enjoyable or more than the music.
My heart swells and bursts listening to their music ty for this it'll be a good day
This young man is truly a master of the cello. I bet the world will see more of him!
Yup, he's got his 10K hours in - and then some! =)
Love the way the musicians seemed to feel every note! They were obviously “ in the zone “!! What a wonderful place to be! Thanks for sharing this amazing music.🎶🎵🎶❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The perfect music for a rainy Friday morning.
Another wonderful performance from the Tiny (ass) Desk!
I think Americana and Roots music are what originally brought me to Tiny Desk, but I love the variety. I like cello, but don't usually seek it out. And I didn't know it, but I like hip-hop performed by a flautist, and I learned that I love the first and only all-female Mariachi band from New York City.
i search after watching TwoSet, not dissapointed at all...
NPR: Giving us music we never hoped for but damn sure glad we got it. Danke 🌻💚
Awesomeness, Kian your exquisite master of the cello made my heart soar, and I am inspired to continue to be a better cellist. You guys lightened my day during this world-wide coronavirus season. Once again thank you both.
Kian entrances me. He is perfection.
This was amazing, especially loved the first song, it was enchanting... definitely going to look up some more of his music/concert dates
Amazing cellist and wonderful pianist.....just simply amazing...….....
I want this duo to follow me and orchestrate my miserable life :D
Haha! Brilliant!
@voilaviolamh it will only remind me of how life is in the moment so no it won't be miserable but remind me of momento mori

This made me laugh aloud.
a soundtrack then... I understand, but this is OBVIOUSLY a buffer, for some happiness for you!
How come nobody told me Kian had a Tiny desk concert >( good, he is soooo good. So authentic in the interpretations.
His own piece is so beautiful ^^
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! COMPLETELY BREATHTAKING! WHAT A PHENOMENAL WAY TO START MY DAY.
I'M EVEN MORE CONTENT. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Cello is my favorite instrument!! So versatile, strong yet delicate...
This young man almost makes me regret my choice to play double bass. 🤷🏽♀️ (but not quite: I love playing in orchestra, jazz & mariachi with the same instrument!)
Marissa Santa Cruz you keep right on playing that bass! The world need fabulous bassists too!
voilaviolamh
I’ve never heard of him, but thank you for the exposure!!
Also Esperanza Spaulding
He has an album called Home on spotified, contains the Schubert piece and the Fire Dance, it’s a beautiful album.

I love the Cello. I'd like to know more about this guy's instrument. Looks like it plays as smooth as butter!
B R A V O!
Wow... What a Perfomance!
this is beautiful
Absolutely breathtaking
Never thought about it till you mentioned it, but it brought an instrument from 1680 to life even more so as a conduit for a more contemporary story by Popper. Absolutely beautiful!
Please allow me to scrape my jaw off the floor. Technically masterful and filled with emotion.
Love this. His music is lifting my mood today
absolutely gorgeous performance! would love to hear a bassoonist on tiny desk.
Brilliant 💗💗💗
