“Moser is one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists"
Gramophone
The thoughtful and emotive musicality of Johannes Moser sets his performances apart. He journeys into the music to find the essential and presents it to listeners with disarming simplicity and immense skill. His playing has electrified audiences around the world, breathing new life into warhorse concertos with prestigious orchestras and conductors. In recital, his gifts for intimacy and engagement shine. Moser and acclaimed pianist Kathryn Stott explore the profound sonatas of Brahms and Shostakovich – on the surface very different, but united by visionary intensity and lyricism. Shostakovich’s sonata contrasts cynical wit and despairing song, at its heart is an enigmatic slow movement that gestures quietly towards hope. Brahms’ epic sonata is a true partnership between cellist and pianist with music that’s as volatile and overpowering as a force of nature.

There are plenty of instruments I can live without, but I defy anyone to say that about the cello. There is something ridiculously seductive about all cellists and all cello music; the physicality required to cradle that instrument so gently and yet with so much flexibility makes a cello recital irresistible to watch. For the Utzon Room to play host to two musicians of such calibre is an honour; the gods of scheduling and desire have once again smiled upon us and enabled the brilliant Kathy and Johannes to be in this little far away country at exactly the same time.
