【專輯介紹】:

Since that fateful moment when he decided to create a new, musical experience out of the long and established traditions of classical, pop and rock music, HAUSER has been playing arena concerts all over the world and, defying the conventions of the established music business. His iconic rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” the vehicle that launched him as an internet sensation and established him as the founding member of the duo 2Cellos, has not only captured the hearts and minds of millions but, more importantly, has cemented HAUSER as one of the world’s most important twenty-first century instrumentalists.

HAUSER’s innate, musical flexibility has led to a wide range of collaborations with many artistic legends including U2, Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Michael, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Still, it is his personal, visually stunning YouTube series, “Alone Together,” launched during the 2020 pandemic featuring musical portraits of his home country, Croatia, that stunned audiences with its sheer beauty and helped him reach the #1 spot on the Billboard chart with his very first solo album, “HAUSER – CLASSIC.”

Hauser is releasing his first solo recording with the London Symphony Orchestra. Each piece on Classic is a longtime favorite of Hauser's, which he chose to reinterpret for the cello along with arranger Robin Smith and producer Nick Patrick. The composer most-represented on Classic, not surprisingly, is Mozart. “He wrote so many unbelievably beautiful second movements that I had a hard time choosing,” Hauser says, “but we selected the slow movements from his Clarinet Concerto and Piano Concerto No. 21 - both so simple and touching. Also, the 'Lacrimosa' from the Mozart Requiem - one of the saddest melodies ever written, and one of the last he wrote. The cello sound is so moving here.”

“It's simple,” Hauser says when asked to describe Classic. “It's the most beautiful, the most romantic melodies ever written in classical music - by the greatest composers - played on the cello, the most beautiful and romantic instrument of all."
