"Hornung setzt sich für Dvorak ein mit Haut und Haar, mit einer Intensität, die Herz und Gefühl nach außen kehrt. Mit Saint-Saëns` Suite und als Schlusspunkt die Romanze. Wunderbare Musik, die Hornung mit vollen Zügen genießt." ~FonoForum

Two years after his successful Deutsche Grammophon Debut Album “Home” Kian Soltani returns with a Dvořák Album featuring the famous cello concerto and five arrangements of some of the greatest pieces Antonin Dvořák composed. Dvořák‘s Cello Concerto op. 104 hasn’t been recorded for the yellow label since 2002 (Mischa Maisky with Mehta and Berliner Philharmoniker). Maestro Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin accompany Kian Soltani in the concerto, while for the other pieces (three of which have been arranged by Kian Soltani himself) he is joined by six cellists of the Staatskapelle Berlin.

"It is such an incredible work. It has everything; the passion, the virtuosity." - Ofra Harnoy, [about the Dvorak Cello Concerto]. Beside this masterpiece the disc also includes Slavonic Dances (8) for Piano 4 hands, Polonaise for Cello and Piano in A major, B 94, Rondo for Cello and Orchestra in G minor, Op. 94. Excellent recording quality.

Cellist János Starker with the complete concertante recordings he made under the baton of Walter Susskind, a conductor praised for his abilities as an accompanist and with whom Starker shared close aesthetics conceptions. Their refined, chamber rendition of masterpieces of the repertoire by Dvořák, Dohnányi or Prokofiev is a superb token of Starker’s deep inwardness.
