Sarah Willis. The Sarahbanda
When a French horn flirts with hot salsa rhythms, it has plenty of Mozart melodies and even more hits from the Occident in its luggage, which are welcomed with a kiss from the Caribbean rhythms. Only the "Sarahbanda", a cheerful band founded by Sarah Willis, horn player with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, as part of her "Mozart y Mambo" project, is capable of such audible affairs. Together with her excellent Cuban musicians, who have learned both Cuban and classical music from the ground up, the horn player delights her audience with music full of passion and joie de vivre that immediately ignites the audience.
