@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.
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.
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 !
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!!
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.
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.🎶🎵🎶❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
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!
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.
APPRECIATE THE YOUTHFUL PASSION IN HIS PERFORMANCE. HE HAS GIFTED HIMSELF WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY TALENT DESERVING OF AN AUDIENCE. HIS PRACTICE IN PRIVATE ECHOES HOURS OF WORK.
Absolutely beautiful!!!! So inspired. 😭❤️ 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!)
Where do you find these spectacular humans?! Thank you for bringing them into my err... knowledge(?). With every single video, you / they blow my brains away and send all sorts of sensations through the bODAY. Fantastic. GOOD JOB HOMAYS. 🤯🌸🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🌟🌟 LET’S DAAAAANCE 💃🏾🕺🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾👠🥿👟
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!
Yo yo ma who?!? Just kidding but he is superb! His cello sings!!!! From start to finish I’m drawn in!!! I’m a fan!!!🔥🔥🔥🙏 the pianist Is also fantastic and has great interpretation but this man on the cello is amazing

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.

I thought the same thing!
Such a great way to say it

I heard him perform live in Prague, and i still think about that performance 2 years later!
I saw this man live at the Cello Biennale in Amsterdam last year. He is absolutely fantastic, so glad this recording exists. Thanks NPR!
Ear buds in, eyes closed, dark room, volume adjusted to just enough. Taking quite a musical voyage. Thank you.

I LOVE how expressive he is! That's as enjoyable or more than the music.
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- )
Mind-blowing talent and sensitivity. Incredible to hear Persian music composed from a Persian Austrian. With love, a Persian American ♥️
Ugh, I love Kian's playing so much 😩😍
You don't always "have to be into this music" to appreciate great artist!
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! =)
Awesome artist and a very nice person, cheers from Austria and enjoy!

Amazing cellist and wonderful pianist.....just simply amazing...….....

This was amazing, especially loved the first song, it was enchanting... definitely going to look up some more of his music/concert dates
Absolutely beautiful. I love the cello so much.
عااالییی بود لذت بردم.
The perfect music for a rainy Friday morning.
This is so lovely. My heart is singing and dancing. Classical music is just so soothing.
This was all fantastic, but the "Soltani:Fire Dance" was amazing from beginning to end.
Beautiful rapport between the two musicians. 💝

Incredible performance from this young man. I will be seeking out more of his work.
My heart swells and bursts listening to their music ty for this it'll be a good day
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! COMPLETELY BREATHTAKING! WHAT A PHENOMENAL WAY TO START MY DAY.
I'M EVEN MORE CONTENT. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
please stop shouting too early in the morning maybe less coffee thanks
SO TRUE!
Wow I'm impressed. That man has some serious talent, Both of them are incredible!
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.
NPR: Giving us music we never hoped for but damn sure glad we got it. Danke 🌻💚
I love this! It's always a joy to find classical on tiny desk
Can t get enough of this ...
Classic music at Tiny Desk! Wonderful! An excellent cellist performance! I can listen again!👏👏👏
Anyone else feel this dance all the way through them and back again?. Absolutely DELIGHTFUL!
Their expressions are so beautiful. Lost in the music.
Beautiful 💛
The Persian Fire Dance was *sick*. Can't wait for the album to come out.
APPRECIATE THE YOUTHFUL PASSION IN HIS PERFORMANCE. HE HAS GIFTED HIMSELF WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY TALENT DESERVING OF AN AUDIENCE. HIS PRACTICE IN PRIVATE ECHOES HOURS OF WORK.
Two thumbs up for the performance atop the sounds!
His own piece is so beautiful ^^
Such mastery...amazing
i search after watching TwoSet, not dissapointed at all...
I love the cello

I love this Persian fire dance
I like the Persian piece so much ❤
How come nobody told me Kian had a Tiny desk concert >( good, he is soooo good. So authentic in the interpretations.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Clearly, a cellist who practices 40 hours a day.

@@hb-km5ep -fixed

Absolutely beautiful!!!! So inspired. 😭❤️
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!!

STAN KIAN 💖💞
For the last piece I gave him standing ovation in front of my phone instantly!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This makes me wanna pick up my cello again. I miss hearing strings!
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!
Браво, брависсимо !!!
A severally underrated Tiny Desk Concert
Yo yo ma who?!? Just kidding but he is superb! His cello sings!!!! From start to finish I’m drawn in!!! I’m a fan!!!🔥🔥🔥🙏 the pianist Is also fantastic and has great interpretation but this man on the cello is amazing
Beautiful, NPR should program more of this.
Bravo!
Next time NASA sends any audio sample from earth into deep space they should send all vids from NPR. That would suffice.
dynamika, liryka, wirtuozeria - bravo!
Wow! How do I find myself clapping to my computer screen?
absolutely amazing!
funny how you can really hear Persia in the last piece! ! Lovely
Oh goodness my heart nearly exploded ! Thank you! So beautiful ❤️
