“ONE MAN. ONE CELLO. ENDLESS EMOTION.” The first note hit me like a warm spotlight — soft, slow, and somehow bigger than the room. Hauser didn’t just play; he pulled every memory out of the movies we grew up with. The sweep of Gone with the Wind. The heartbeat of Mission: Impossible. Even with the London Symphony behind him, it felt strangely intimate… like he was playing for just one person at a time. What he does with a cello shouldn’t be possible, but here he is — turning film music into something that feels alive again.

HAUSER Unveils CINEMA: A Passionate Tribute to Iconic Film Music

Stjepan Hauser — the world-renowned Croatian cello virtuoso known simply as HAUSER — has built his career on breaking musical boundaries. After redefining classical-rock fusion as one half of the celebrated duo 2CELLOS, he now turns his artistic gaze toward the movie world with his breathtaking new album, CINEMA, released on September 12, 2025.

This album is far more than a collection of film score interpretations. It is a vivid, emotional re-imagining of some of cinema’s most beloved melodies — each one transformed through the expressive, almost human voice of HAUSER’s cello.

At the heart of CINEMA is HAUSER’s mission to elevate film music, presenting these iconic themes as powerful works of classical art in their own right. To achieve this sweeping, cinematic sound, he partnered with the legendary London Symphony Orchestra, adding depth, grandeur, and an unmistakable sense of drama to every track.

From Bond to Barbie: A Journey Across Film History

CINEMA invites listeners on a stunning musical voyage through decades of Hollywood storytelling. Its tracklist is impressively varied, moving effortlessly from the lush romanticism of Max Steiner’s timeless Gone with the Wind theme to the contemporary emotional weight of Billie Eilish’s Oscar-winning “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.

This thoughtful contrast highlights a universal truth HAUSER conveys beautifully: a great melody — no matter its era or genre — becomes timeless when interpreted with soul and sensitivity.

The album also gives space to international cinema, shining a light on treasured themes from European films alongside globally cherished soundtracks. Long known for his affinity for the dramatic flair of the James Bond universe, HAUSER delivers the franchise’s iconic motifs with polished sophistication and electrifying emotional tension.

Why the Mission: Impossible Theme Demands to Be Heard on Cello

While many tracks on the album embrace romantic, cinematic warmth, HAUSER’s brilliance shines equally through the high-energy pieces. His interpretation of Lalo Schifrin’s Mission: Impossible theme is a standout — not just a cover, but a full-throttle performance bursting with intensity.

Through sharp percussive techniques and bold rhythmic drive, HAUSER harnesses the cello’s dramatic capabilities to capture the theme’s relentless suspense. The result is a thrilling sonic experience that proves just how versatile and powerful the cello can be in the hands of a true master.

With CINEMA, HAUSER doesn’t simply release an album — he offers a sweeping tribute to the magic of film itself. Each track is a reminder that the cello, with its human-like resonance and emotional depth, is uniquely suited to retelling the greatest stories ever brought to the screen.

THE WORLD WATCHED EVERY NOTE. NO ONE SAW WHO STOOD BESIDE HIM. For years, the world has watched Hauser command stages with heat and confidence. Bright lights. Quick smiles. A cello that feels like a heartbeat. Offstage, it was different. Quieter. He didn’t explain. He didn’t correct the rumors. He just kept playing. Then came the whispers. A ring that caught the light for half a second. A figure passing behind a frame and gone again. No captions. No statements. Now, pieces are starting to line up. Not as a headline. More like a soft truth, finally allowed to breathe. Whatever the answer is, it feels very him. Private. Steady. Real.
