Hauser Debuts New Single And Video “Song To The Moon”

Internationally acclaimed cellist HAUSER unveils his captivating cello rendition of "Song To The Moon," from his upcoming album 'CLASSIC II' out next Friday, April 19th - LISTEN HERE. Filmed amidst the picturesque landscapes of Croatia, the video for "Song To The Moon" radiates with the enchanting charm of HAUSER's musical interpretation. With his distinctive spin on the piece, HAUSER delivers a rendition that is as romantic as it is exquisite, captivating audiences worldwide. WATCH HERE.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the rendition, HAUSER reminisces about his formative years studying cello in London. A pivotal moment occurred when a young HAUSER was awarded a prize that afforded him the opportunity to perform alongside soprano Renée Fleming at Buckingham Palace, in a special performance for Prince Charles. It was during this extraordinary experience that HAUSER first encountered Antonín Dvořák's "Song of the Moon" aria from the opera Rusalka - an encounter that left him utterly spellbound.
"When I heard this beautiful aria for the first time, I was so inspired," HAUSER recalls. "You know, when you're a student, you stick to the cello repertoire and how it's taught to you. You're not encouraged to think outside the box. Hearing Renée Fleming sing this aria was a pivotal moment for me. I decided to do something outside the box: I transcribed this aria for the cello myself - the first transcription I ever did. It was the beginning of who I am today. Renée Fleming's voice singing this aria inspired me to treat the cello like a singer. It's why I developed this very romantic 'singing' style that people relate to so much. This experience defined my style for the rest of my life."
With a growing fan base exceeding 1 billion audio streams and 4 billion video views globally, HAUSER continues to mesmerize audiences with his artistry and unwavering passion for music. His newest album CLASSIC II, is a follow-up to the widely acclaimed 2020 release CLASSIC, comprises 18 unforgettable melodies, expertly arranged to showcase the expressive capabilities of the cello. Recorded with the esteemed London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Robert Ziegler, and featuring arrangements by Robin Smith, the album promises to redefine classical masterpieces in elegant new forms.
Earlier this year, HAUSER delighted fans with the release of the lead single, a deeply emotive rendition of Yiruma's "Kiss the Rain." The accompanying music video is a visual masterpiece in its own right. He released his second single "Emmanuel" alongside a stunning music video filmed in the forest in his native Croatia as well as his third single "Lullaby," which captures the timeless essence of Brahms. His fourth single is a soul-stirring rendition of Chopin's "Tristesse" expertly arranged for the cello, which envelops listeners in a poignant storm of emotions.
"You can't go wrong giving a beautiful, singing tune to the cello," HAUSER says of his new album, CLASSIC II. "There is always a good chance that it will sound even better than the original!"
Following a triumphant 2023 marked by the release of his first-ever holiday album, HAUSER is set to embark on his inaugural solo U.S. tour in spring 2024. Commencing on May 31st at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL, the tour will grace prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Ravinia Festival in Chicago, Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Tickets for HAUSER's 2024 U.S. tour are available now at HAUSERofficial.com/event-directory.
