Niurka González presents her album Fantasías y Habaneras on digital platforms

The latest album Fantasías y Habaneras by renowned Cuban flutist Niurka González will be presented on the most important digital platforms this Friday, June 16th.

The press release issued by the Ojalá Studios includes the instrumentalist’s own assessment of the album and the repertoire it offers:

«Harmony, coincidence, coexistence between the «classical» and the «modern», perhaps between the past and the future, where everything comes together, explains the maestro.

Fantasías y Habaneras is an aesthetic proposal for the daily coexistence of dichotomies, of differences. That is why Georg Philipp Telemann, Juan Piñera, the Baroque and the present, and vice versa, are intertwined in this musical exhibition that breaks down barriers.

Through a single instrument, a minimal expression of chamber music; the expressive grandeur of the flute, so close to the human voice,» says the clarinetist.

This album was recorded, mixed and mastered between March and November 2021 at the Ojalá Studios, with musical production and mixing by Niurka González. The recording, editing, mixing and mastering was done by sound engineer Olimpia Calderón Arias, production assistant Mirtha Almeida Camejo, photography by Daniel Mordzinski and design by Vladimir Pérez Díaz (Vlade). The general production is by Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez.

Repertoire:

– 12 Fantasías by Georg Philipp Telemann TWV 40:2-13

– 5 Habaneras for solo flute by Juan Piñera
