Alongside the album, HAUSER also unveils the striking new video for “Lujon,” a rich and evocative interpretation of Henry Mancini’s classic that conveys both the sensual elegance of the piece and HAUSER’s trademark flair. With his unmistakable artistry and passion, HAUSER breathes new life into cinema’s most iconic music – LISTEN HERE.
The 25-track collection, recorded with the prestigious London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Robert Ziegler, spans decades of cinematic history, reinventing timeless themes through HAUSER’s lush and emotional interpretations. Beyond the music, the project also serves as a cultural bridge, with performance videos filmed in breathtaking locations around the world, reinforcing his mission to connect people across borders through the power of melody. The album features a powerful lineup of iconic themes, including “What Was I Made For?,” “Concerto pour la fin d'un amour,” “Le Vent, Le Cri,” the “Mission: Impossible” theme, Phantom of the Opera’s “Music Of The Night”, “A Time For Us”, and “Writing’s on the Wall”, the Oscar-winning song from Spectre.
The album also features romantic themes from Somewhere in Time and Outof Africa, as well as deeply personal renditions of hidden gems by legendary European composers, including Nino Rota, Francis Lai, Luis Bacalov, and Vangelis.
Grouped highlights off the album:
Hollywood Classics: Mission: Impossible, “The Music of the Night” (Phantom of the Opera), “Writing’s on the Wall” (Spectre), “Marion’s Theme” (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Gone with the Wind’s “Tara’s Theme,” “Theme from A Summer Place,” “Promentory” (The Last of the Mohicans), “The Ludlows” (Legends of the Fall), and more.

As half of the globally acclaimed duo 2CELLOS, HAUSER recorded a popular album of dynamic film and TV themes entitled Score, but CINEMA is his first solo effort in this repertoire. “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.”
Known for his flair, virtuosity, and global appeal, HAUSER continues to push the boundaries of classical crossover, bringing orchestral music to new audiences with every performance. CINEMA is his latest statement of artistry, cinematic emotion, and cultural celebration.
Building on the release of CINEMA, HAUSER now brings the album to life on stage, with an expansive European tour this fall that will showcase his cinematic interpretations in some of the continent’s most iconic venues. check https://hauserofficial.com/? for the exact cities and dates.
