HAUSER — Rebel with a Cello, Villa Manin (Italy), 2024

Live concert film of HAUSER at Villa Manin in Codroipo, Friuli, Italy, recorded in July 2024 as part of the Rebel with a Cello tour. First known as one half of 2CELLOS, Croatian cellist Stjepan Hauser pursues a solo career that opens up the classical cello to pop, film scores and international hits. This full concert perfectly illustrates that crossover approach: intimate pieces such as « Adagio », « Caruso » and « Song from a Secret Garden » sit alongside covers of « Game of Thrones », « Pirates of the Caribbean », « Despacito », « Bella Ciao » and « Highway to Hell ». Backed by his band and guest violinist Caroline Campbell, HAUSER alternates lyricism and rock energy, supported by a brass and percussion section. Filmed in the baroque setting of Villa Manin, this live recording highlights both the player’s virtuosity and his theatrical flair. A live concert film ideal for discovering the crossover cello and HAUSER’s stage universe.
