"The overriding impression is of a watertight musical partnership, one’s attention divided equally between cellist and pianist….[Soltani] has all the qualities needed to win consistent critical acclaim, namely innate musicality, a yielding, svelte tone, an agile bowing arm and a skilful deployment of varied vibrato. Listening to him is a great pleasure." - Gramophone Magazine April 2018
