WHO:   

With a brilliant technique and charismatic flair, German-born Johannes Moser has set himself apart as one of the most compelling cellists of his generation whose impassioned playing is filled with personality and emotion.  He has been hailed as “greatly gifted” by the Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times described him as an “imaginative soloist . . . finding internal conversations, lyrical insights and even humor in the solo part.”

Johannes has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, London Symphony, Tonhalle Orchester Zurich, Bayerische Rundfunk Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic and Deutsche Symphonie Orchester Berlin, working regularly with conductors of the highest level.  He has also received two ECHO Klassik awards for his recordings on Hänssler Classics.
