“You may’t go fallacious giving a lovely, singing tune to the cello,” HAUSER says of his new album. “There’s all the time a very good likelihood that it’ll sound even higher than the unique!”
On Traditional II, which he produced himself, HAUSER reunites together with his artistic collaborators on Traditional – arranger Robin Smith, Ziegler and the London Symphony Orchestra. With Smith, he reimagined his favourite melodies in elegant new settings that characteristic the solo cello, maybe probably the most “vocal” of all orchestral devices. The melodies he selected had been written initially for voice, piano, oboe or – in a number of situations – complete symphony orchestras, from the Baroque period to the current day. The purpose was to make these melodies “sing” anew within the cello.
“That is such a pleasure for me,” HAUSER says, calling Traditional II and Traditional his “dream albums.” “It’s what I truly take pleasure in probably the most – after I come again to my roots, to the classical repertoire. Once I was somewhat boy, this was my dream: to play with an incredible orchestra, in a very good studio, on a very good cello. These melodies are a few of my earliest recollections, after I fell in love with music. This comes naturally to me.”
Two of the melodies he selected for Traditional II had a life-changing significance for HAUSER.
The cellist first heard the luminous “Track of the Moon” from Antonín Dvořák’s opera Rusalka when, as very younger cello pupil in London, HAUSER was chosen to play in an orchestra accompanying soprano Renée Fleming within the aria for a Buckingham Palace efficiency for Prince Charles. The music itself so galvanized HAUSER that he transcribed it for himself – “a pivotal second in my life,” he says, that opened up his consciousness of how the cello may “sing.”
Years later, earlier than HAUSER launched his profession as half of 2CELLOS, the soulful Baroque magnificence of the Albinoni “Adagio” impressed him to rearrange the piece as a cello solo, to carry out in a video he put collectively. He launched it on YouTube, by no means imagining that it might pattern in an epic method – incomes some 91 million views. On Traditional II, each works have been freshly reimagined to make the most of HAUSER’s mature artistry and the luxurious sound of the London Symphony Orchestra.
When HAUSER launched Traditional in early 2020 – earlier than the COVID pandemic and the onset of world political turbulence – the cellist stated of the music, “That is what the world wants.” Of Traditional II, he makes the identical level, including, “The world wants this music now – greater than ever.”
