The player CD

Launch September 16, 2022

CD edition

Following an incredible 10-year career as half of 2CELLOS, HAUSER is ushering in a new era as a solo artist and creator of visual concepts with THE PLAYER, using his innovative musical styles and irresistible charisma to bring a new wave of cello music to fans from all over the world.

Influenced by his love of Latin music and culture, “Maybe, Maybe, Maybe” comes with a new twist to a song that has become a global standard.

HAUSER says: "We made a tango version, adding Latin rhythms, which is something totally new. I'm very proud of it." The song's accompanying music video features HAUSER and Caroline Campbell in an emotionally charged dialogue between two incredible string soloists.

"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" follows HAUSER's recent release, “Livin' la Vida Loca,” a lively version of Ricky Martin's classic Latin pop hit reimagined with HAUSER's unique musical intuition.

THE PLAYER, featuring the accompaniment of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Steven Mercurio, skillfully fuses today's hits with timeless classics with HAUSER's usual flavor. The genre-bending artist has a deep appreciation for old Hollywood and rock-n-roll greats like Elvis and Dean Martin, who have inspired much of his new style. On the new album, HAUSER follows in the footsteps of his heroes, taking the stage as an intergenerational legend in his own right.

"I can't wait to share THE PLAYER with the world," says HAUSER. "It's been a dream come true to bring these songs to life in a fun and fresh way. I've long had a vision of taking the cello into uncharted territory, and now we're getting to play around and explore new arrangements that have never been done before." Done before."
