Sebastian Klinger  –  Cellist

"The instrumental excellency and courage of the young soloist were remarkable (…) Both cellist and his accompanist impressed with brilliance and infallible teamwork. " — Rheinische Post, Duesseldorf, Germany

"Klinger played sensitively and movingly tragically on his cello, from which he drew sounds of almost heavenly beauty." — Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Munich, Germany

 

The cellist Sebastian Klinger, born in Munich and raised in Spain, is one of the most outstanding young soloists and chamber musicians of his generation. He is praised by international press for his warm quality of sound and the intensity of his expression, as well as his flawless technique and superb musicality.
