Kian Soltani has always been a big fan of movies, now he takes this passion one step further and creates an unprecedented album with his own arrangements of great blockbuster hits.

Like a leading actor, supporting cast, director and crew rolled into one, Soltani plays every part in his compelling arrangements for cello orchestra.

Multitrack arrangements of music from Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Identity and two new movie-inspired works by Soltani.

The album pays homage to two of today’s titans of Hollywood music, Hans Zimmer and Howard Shore, and a genius of Soviet cinema, Alfred Schnittke.

Cello Unlimited is precisely that – a collection of the most iconic movie soundtracks from the last 20 years, played on Kian’s cello and his cello only! All tracks are specially arranged for the cello and every voice is played by Kian himself.

“I want to take listeners into emotional and epic worlds and trigger in them the same enthusiasm I had when I first heard this music, and which still accompanies me every day. ... Everything you will hear on this album is made only and exclusively with my cello. The possibilities of this instrument are unlimited and infinite, and this album is a celebration of the instrument and of epic film music as well.” – Kian Soltani
