(ANSA) – BOLOGNA, 07 NOV – He made headlines as the winner of the Paulo Helsinki International Competition in 2013, the Leonard Bernstein Award in Germany and the Credit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2017. At the age of twenty-four he signed a contract in exclusive to Deutsche Grammophon, with which he has already released eight discs. He is the twenty-nine year old Austro-Iranian cellist Kian Soltani, born in Bregenz to a family of Iranian musicians, guest for the first time on the program of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna with the Filarmonica del Tcbo for the appointment on November 8 at the Manzoni Auditorium at 20.30. Together with him, American Ryan McAdams, principal conductor of the Crash Ensemble and great promoter of contemporary music, made his debut on the podium of the Philharmonic. Soltani will be engaged in the Concerto in A minor for cello and orchestra Op. 129 by Robert Schumann, written almost in one go in 1850 and considered one of the first examples of a romantic matrix of concert for orchestra and cello, an unusual instrument as a soloist in the concerts of the time .
The program is completed by a great page of German romanticism such as Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major Op. 73.
Written during a holiday in the Austrian Alps in the summer of 1877, it was completed in a short time compared to the Prima which cost Brahms at least fifteen years of second thoughts and changes between physical fatigue and inner suffering. For the simplicity with which it is permeated, Symphony No. 2 has been compared to Beethoven’s Sixth: the almost pastoral stillness that distinguishes it is interrupted only by some dramatic episodes and melancholy glimpses.
