Carlos Antonio Pini OBE (15 April 1902 – 1 January 1989) was a cellist, known as a soloist, orchestral section leader and chamber musician. He was principal cellist of five major British orchestras between 1932 and 1976, and a teacher at the Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Life and career Pini was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of a Scottish mother and an Argentine father. The family was musical; Pini's younger brother Eugene achieved success as the leader of a tango band popular in the 1930s and 40s. When Pini was ten he moved with his mother to Glasgow. He was educated there, and then joined a local orchestra, playing under Landon Ronald. He moved to London, playing in the Queen's Hall Light Orchestra. In 1926 he made the first of many broadcasts for the BBC, in Mozart's String Quartet, K 458. In 1932 Sir Thomas Beecham invited Pini to lead the cello section of his new London Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1939 Pini moved to the BBC Symphony Orchestra and in 1943 he joined the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. When Beecham set up the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 1947 he again invited Pini to be his principal cellist. Pini remained in the position for the rest of Beecham's life. In 1964 he took his final orchestral post, leading the cellos in the orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, retiring in 1976. Pini was a member of several chamber ensembles during his career, including the Brosa and Philharmonia string quartets. Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians rates the Philharmonia recordings of Schubert's Death and the Maiden and Mozart's Hunt quartets as classics, and similarly rates Pini's recordings of Elgar's Cello Concerto (with the London Philharmonic and Eduard van Beinum) and Beethoven's Archduke Trio with Solomon and Henry Holst. In later years Pini taught at the Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where, in the words of The Times, "he passed on the classical virtues of his discreet but distinct style". His own instrument was a Grancino cello of 1696. Pini was awarded the OBE in 1976. His son Carl became a well-known violinist, and led the New Philharmonia Orchestra in the 1970s. Pini died at the age of 86 on New Year's Day 1989, in Barcombe, East Sussex

Kian Soltani David Popper Franz Schubert Grancino Franz Liszt Johannes Brahms Schmitt 1680 2019
Watch Kian Soltani play "Popper: Hungarian Rhapsody", "Schubert (arr. Soltani): 'Nacht und Träume'" and "Soltani: Persian Fire Dance" at the Tiny Desk. More from NPR Music: Tiny Desk Concerts: (http•••) Twitter: (http•••) Instagram: (http•••) Aug. 16, 2019 | Tom Huizenga / It's not every day someone walks into our NPR Music offices and unpacks an instrument made in 1680. And yet Kian Soltani, the 27-year-old cellist who plays with the authority and poetry of someone twice his age, isn't exactly fazed by his rare Giovanni Grancino cello, which produces large, luminous tones. (He also plays a Stradivarius.) And if you think the notion of a cello recital isn't exactly sexy or thrilling, just take a look at Soltani; he radiates joy and ingenuity as he performs three pieces that offer virtuosity, sweet lyricism and fire. The Hungarian Rhapsody, by the late 19th century cellist and composer David Popper, traces its inspiration to similarly titled pieces by Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms, but showcases a number of hot-dogging tricks for the cello, including stratospheric high notes, flamboyant slides and a specific high-velocity bouncing of the bow called sautillé. Soltani nails all of them with nonchalant elegance, backed with companionable accompaniment by pianist Christopher Schmitt. To prove he can make his instrument truly sing, Soltani worked up his own arrangement of "Nacht und Träume" (Night and Dreams) by Franz Schubert, replacing the human voice with his cello's warm, intimate vocalizing. And in the Persian Fire Dance, Soltani's own composition, flavors from his Iranian roots – drones and spiky dance rhythms – commingle with percussive ornaments. It all adds up to well-rounded, technically astute playing from a young cellist whose career is ascending in full flight. SET LIST Popper: Hungarian Rhapsody Schubert (arr.
