Description:

A remarkable Dvorak album by an up-and-coming young cellist Two years after his successful debut album for Deutsche Grammophon, Kian Soltani returns with a Dvorak album featuring the cello concerto and five arranged works (three of them arranged by Soltani himself). Dvořák's Cello Concerto Op.104 has not been recorded by Deutsche Grammophon since 2002 (Mischa Maisky, Zubin Mehta and the Berlin Philharmonic). This time, Soltani and the concerto are performed by maestro Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin, and the arranged work is performed by six cellists of the Staatskapelle Berlin.
