“My new production “Mágica y Misteriosa” completes my creative corpus of Strings with Strings… Dreams come true, this happens when your dream is intense and you struggle to achieve it”.
Claudia Montero
“Magica y Misteriosa” is a Concerto for Harp and Strings composed for and dedicated to Floraleda Sacchi by Claudia Montero.
Floraleda commented the victory that way:
“I am really happy to receive such prize because it is not easy for an Italian artist playing a style which is not the mainstream and with a special instrument such as the Harp to have the occasion to participate and win a Latin Grammy.
I am honored to work with such talented partners and grateful to the Academy for their choice.
I hope this will help to make my music known to a wider audience.”
