Johannes Moser, cello
Hailed by Gramophone magazine as “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists,” German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser performs with many of the world’s leading orchestras, conductors, and musicians. A top prize winner at the Tchaikovsky Competition, Moser’s recordings of concertos by Dvořák, Elgar, Lutosławski, and Tchaikovsky, have gained him the prestigious Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and the Diapason d’Or. Moser plays on an Andrea Guarneri Cello from 1694, but also performs on electric cello having premiered Enrico Chapela’s Magnetar for Electric Cello with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Moser currently holds a professorship at the prestigious Cologne Hochschule fuer Musik und Tanz. A voracious reader and an avid outdoorsman, Moser is a keen hiker and mountain biker.
