Wake up and dance along: classics in and from Cuba

Description

Even though a Mozart monument has stood in Havana’s old town since 2012, Wolfgang Amadé Mozart never set foot in Cuba. Yet for the past few years, Sarah Willis, a member of the Berliner Philharmoniker horn section, has been showing how wonderfully well his music harmonizes with Latin American sounds and rhythms. Using the “Mozart y Mambo” rubric, she has joined forces with Cuban conductor José Antonio Méndez Padrón and the young musicians of the Havana Lyceum Orchestra, combining the best of both worlds on three CDs to date.
