Global cello sensation Hauser is back with Classic II, an all-new
selection of his favorites among the most beautiful melodies in
classical music, following up on the success of his 2020 album Classic. -
For Classic II, Hauser reunites with the London Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Robert Ziegler, and arranger/orchestrator Robin Smith, with
whom the cellist worked closely in featuring the cello in the
arrangement of each track. - Classic II reimagines instantly
recognizable, song-like melodies by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin,
Donizetti, Dvořák, Mahler, Mozart, Rachmaninoff and Schubert, most of
them written for solo instruments, voices or an entire orchestra and
never before adapted for the "voice" of the cello. Hauser also brings
his singing style to two beloved melodies in the Baroque style - the
Albinoni "Adagio" and the Adagio from Alessandro Marcello's famous Oboe
Concerto - as well as a pair of contemporary pieces, Michel Colombier's
"Emmanuel" and composer/pianist Yurima's "Kiss the Rain."
