**Classic II**

Two of the melodies he chose for *Classic II* had a life-changing significance for HAUSER.

“You can’t go wrong giving a beautiful, singing tune to the cello,” HAUSER says of Classic II, which reunites him with collaborators Robin Smith, Robert Ziegler, and the London Symphony Orchestra. The album reimagines melodies from the Baroque era to modern times, making them “sing” through the cello.

Reflecting on Classic II, HAUSER says, “Returning to my roots and the classical repertoire feels so natural. These melodies are part of my earliest memories and spark my love for music.”
