In fact Iranian-, or as his website states Persian-Austrian. An immigrant. Like Barenboim and like Bernstein’s families have an immigration history. And flourished in their various new environments. http://www.kiansoltani.com/
An excellent and deserving young artist. Heard him in Lucerne with Barenboim in Beethoven’s Triple Concerto a couple of years ago. Congratulations to him.
I enjoyed a Mendelssohn piano trio he did in LA back in 2009 with Catharina Chen and Mariangela Vacatello, audience favorite at that year’s Cliburn. Memorable ensemble playing. Glad to see he is doing well.
