hänssler CLASSIC is proud to announce the latest release from the phenomenally gifted young cellist Johannes Moser. This new CD is the first in a series intended to document the period between Johannes Brahms' move to Vienna in 1869 and the musical innovations that culminated in Arnold Schoenberg's "Method of Composing with Twelve Tones…" in the 1920s. In addition to a compelling performance of Brahms' Cello Sonata in F Major Op. 99, Moser has also programmed the works of Brahms' nearly forgotten protégé Robert Fuchs and the WORLD PREMIERE recording of the Cello Sonata by Fuchs' own pupil, Alexander Zemlinsky. This important new release will not only delight the casual listener with new and unfamiliar repertoire but will also introduce music lovers to an exciting and important period of musical creativity.

JOHANNES MOSER (CELLO) - German-born cellist Johannes Moser came to international attention in June 2002 when he won the 12th Tchaikovsky Competition and was awarded the Special Prize for his interpretation of the Rococo Variations. He has performed with orchestras from around the world under conductors like Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev, Paavo Järvi and Kirill Petrenko. His United States debut took place in March 2005 with the Chicago Symphony under Boulez. He was greeted with standing ovations, and was described in the Chicago Tribune as "greatly gifted" and "heroic". Engagements in 2006/07 include performances with the New York Philharmonic orchestra under Lorin Maazel. You can find up-to-date information on the internet at www.johannes-moser.com.
