When two virtuosos like HAUSER and Lana Trotovsek come together, you know the performance is bound to be nothing short of extraordinary. Their collaboration on the iconic Passacaglia by Handel, arranged by Halvorsen, takes the piece to breathtaking new heights, blending the passionate energy of the cello with the emotive elegance of the violin.

The Passacaglia is a timeless masterpiece known for its dramatic structure and captivating melody, and HAUSER and Lana’s performance is a perfect embodiment of its power and beauty. The piece, originally written by Handel and later arranged by the Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen for violin and cello, features a haunting theme that repeats and builds in intensity throughout. This theme is beautifully interpreted by the two musicians, who bring their own flair to every phrase, each one more compelling than the last.

HAUSER, the celebrated cellist, is known for his captivating presence and his ability to bring an unparalleled depth to every performance. His cello playing in this piece is rich and full, with each note resonating with emotional intensity. He pours his heart into the music, bringing out the dark, intense qualities of the Passacaglia while also showcasing the tenderness that makes the piece so beloved.

Lana Trotovsek, a violinist with incredible technique and sensitivity, matches HAUSER’s intensity with her own graceful and powerful playing. Her violin soars alongside HAUSER’s cello, weaving a narrative of tension and release. The way her violin interacts with the cello, often taking the lead, then blending seamlessly into the background, showcases her mastery of the piece. Together, they create a musical conversation that is at once intricate, dramatic, and full of emotional depth.
