Notes
Following the phenomenal success of the first Mozart y Mambo album, Sarah Willis returns to Cuba not only to record two more Mozart horn concertos but also to create a landmark original work that takes its place in Cuban music history. In Mozart y Mambo - Cuban Dances, Sarah commissions the very first Cuban horn concerto – calling on six young talented Cuban composers to each write an original dance for solo horn, strings, and percussion inspired by the most famous dance rhythms from across different regions of Cuba. Together with her beloved Havana Lyceum Orchestra conducted by José Antonio Méndez Padrón, Sarah takes us on a cross country musical road trip in this spectacular showcase of the roots and traditions of Cuba’s music and dance. Cuban Dances is Cuban music as it has never been heard before and a huge challenge for the horn player, not only technically but physically – “if you can’t dance it you can’t play it” she was told. So dance it she did! Mozart y Mambo - Cuban Dances is full of magic, energy, and passion, and Sarah’s love for Cuban music is evident in every track.

"... Ms Willis and Co., bring on the third volume and K495, please!"
Andrew Farach-Colton – Gramophone magazine Awards Issue – 2022
“… Willis is the first-class soloist in Mozart’s Horn concerto No. 1 in D and No. 2 in E flat. A seven-strong ensemble, enchantingly called Sarahbanda, perform Pa Pa Pa by Edgar Olivero … The fizzing Havana Lyceum Orchestra plays traditional Cuban dances, for solo horn strings and percussion, with a difference: all have been commissioned by Willis, from six young Cuban composers … this is perfect hot weather music. This star player is put through her hornist pace and comes out dancing…”
