ALBUM ARTWORK (DOWNLOAD)

(MAY 15 – NEW YORK, NY) – Continuing his quest to unite the world through beautiful music, the global cello sensation HAUSER now turns his attention to the greatest melodies ever written for classic films with his forthcoming Sony Music Masterworks album, CINEMA. For the new album, HAUSER chose 25 unforgettable melodies across the decades and reimagined them with his signature sound into sumptuous arrangements of classic film themes, which he recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Ziegler. Songs range from the epic "Tara" theme from Gone with the Wind (1939) to Billie Eilish's Oscar-winning song "What Was I Made For" from Barbie (2023). Set for release on September 12 and available to preorder and presave here, the CD version of CINEMA will highlight 20 tracks, while the digital version will feature all 25 tracks.

“James Bond is my favorite character from the movies,” notes HAUSER. Thus, alongside today’s album announcement, he is excited to share his recording of "Writing's on the Wall," the Oscar-winning Sam Smith song from the 2012 James Bond film Spectre, as the first single off Cinema - listen here and watch the music video.

In further news, today HAUSER kicks off his second solo North American tour, THE REBEL IS BACK! at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL.  Additional stops along the tour include Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 24, The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 25, Budweiser Stage in Toronto on June 17, and Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 30, to name a few.  Please visit HAUSERofficial.com/tour for ticketing information.      

The cellist’s enthusiasm for big, romantic melodies inspires each selection on the new album.  In addition to "Writing's on the Wall," CINEMA rediscovers a rarely heard Bond song from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) – “We Have All the Time in the World.”

Other iconic themes that are in everyone’s listening experience appear on CINEMA—from golden-age Hollywood classics A Summer Place and An Affair to Remember, as well as Lalo Schifrin’s pulsating Mission Impossible theme. The album also includes memorable romantic themes from Somewhere in Time and Out of Africa by one of HAUSER’s favorite composers, John Barry, as well as Amélieand The Last of the Mohicans.

In addition to the more recent Sam Smith and Billie Eilish songs, HAUSER performs two romantic hit songs from musicals in instrumental arrangements – “The Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera and “Stranger in Paradise” from Kismet.

Less well-known may be CINEMA’s unforgettable melodies – from great Oscar-winning European film composers Nino Rota (“A Time for Us” from Romeo and Juliet); Ennio Morricone (“Chi mai” from Maddalena and “Le vent, le cri” from The Professional); Francis Lai (“Concerto pour la fin d’un amour” from Love Is a Funny Thing); Luis Bacalov (“Mi manchiari” from Il Postino); and Vangelis (“Conquest of Paradise” from 1492: Conquest of Paradise and  “La petite fille de mer” from L’Apocalypse des Animaux).

As half of the globally acclaimed duo 2CELLOS, HAUSER recorded a popular album of dynamic film and TV themes entitled Score, but CINEMA – his first solo effort in this repertoire – is a very different album. “This is a more personal album,” HAUSER says, “because it includes some of my favorites and music I’ve discovered, in putting together the album. Some of these pieces I would call ‘hidden jewels,’ that people may not be aware of. But I’m sure once the fans hear them on CINEMA, they will become favorites for them too.”
