As a cellist myself I gladly admit that this guy cuts shit up BIG TIME. Plus, it's not simply a technical display, even if a display piece, but instead he really reaches into the emotional expression that the piece allows. Nicely done.

Kian we proud of you❤🔥🤩 Too much love from Iran🥹❤️🤗

[@BRONTOS]

You can tell he spent a very long time this piece by the way he plays and by the way he adds some parts that are not in music like it’s part of the piece. Bravo, an amazing performance! 🤩

[@andreasbyczkowski3435]

Wonderful artistry all through and the last high note was truly stellar!!! Cadenza il superbo!

You are one of my best cellist. Thank you for Beautiful performance. I admire you ★

[@nanashafiqa1422]

I'm falling in love with his cello❤️❤️❤️

[@jamesjordan4796]

It is a really unique instrument and very pretty I agree!! It was actually owned by the great cellist and composer Luigi Boccherini. It was made by Antonio Stradivari in the mid 1690's. It has since been cut down and made smaller for some reason. It was lost to time at some point and then rediscovered in the mid-late 1900s in London, UK. Soltani is the first cellist to really put it to use since its rediscovery which is really cool. It is quite lucky that we get to hear such an amazing instrument with such a unique history!!

@@jamesjordan4796 thanks for the information...I really love it... Coz of this video I decided to learn cello .. been learning about 7 months already and I just got distinction grade 2 ABRSM

Это шедевральное исполнение! Легко и непринуждённо! Bravissimo!🎉🎉🎉

[@davehshs651]

Wonderful! Very well played. Parts of this rhapsody remind me of the soulful sounds of the Romanian composer Porumbescu's Balada. I wonder if they knew each other in their coinciding lifetimes.

[@raaghavgoelpiano]

that finale though oh my god!! minblowing bravossimo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@philipnauman838]

Masterful playing.

bravo Kian! congrats!

[@maryyueil]

Beautifully played.

[@nicolehourcade]

So beautiful.kheyli ziba. I guess sometime classical iranian musique and hungarian are close. I remember a lecture about Persian roots of Hungarian musique when i was in the university of Pecs🌘🎼

[@saltag]

"Hungarian" here actually most likely refers to gypsy music, a common notion 19th century Europeans had (same for the Hungarian Dances Brahms wrote)

[@evelynpfriem8499]

Dat cadenza though

Anvar Nasriddinov-Bitson that’s not how this piece goes...

[@keenans8531]

Omg ikr!! I love it so much!

[@jewelhelligar4013]

Justin Louie that’s the beautiful things about cadenzas, there are no rules. The cadenza in the original piece is basically just a suggestion. Traditionally, cadenzas were actually made up on the spot if I remember correctly. So there’s nothing wrong with playing it differently.

Of course the composer was from Praha but in this period the hungarian influence was important in the austro hungarian empire.

What beautiful tones & sounds! A breathtaking job! The melodies are partially the same from LISZT'S Hungarian RHAPSODIES! It's from his piece! So...please don't think the composer is David Popper!!! It's the LISZT'S creation! Anyways, bravo ! On the performance!

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

no

it's the nature of a classical compositions based on Hungarian folk melodies

[@jakuboronowicz8421]

It’s Poppers compostition… he just quoted Liszt a few times, that doesn’t mean he didn’t write it

[@VoxPhD]

Very skilled cellist, but I hate this interpretation.

What is your preferred interpretation?
