Classical guitarist Laura Mazon Franqui has reached an exciting new milestone. Her latest single, Berceuse by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, was added to Spotify’s New Classical playlist after its release this week.
The playlist is one of the biggest spaces for classical music on Spotify. It features respected artists and orchestras from around the world. Laura now appears alongside names such as The BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jon Batiste, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
The single is part of her album Rojo.
A Deeply Personal Recording
While the playlist placement is a major achievement, the story behind Berceuse makes the release even more meaningful.
Laura Mazon Franqui shared that the piece connects closely to the memory of her late aunt. As a child, she often heard her aunt sing the song to her. She also described her aunt as one of the biggest inspirations in her musical journey.
Laura recorded the piece only three months after her aunt passed away.
The session became emotional from the start. Instead of recording several versions, Laura completed the song in a single take. She explained that she became emotional while playing but continued the performance to keep the honesty of the moment alive.
A Raw and Honest Performance
Many classical recordings focus heavily on perfection. Berceuse takes a different path.
Laura Mazon Franqui allows emotion to lead the performance. The recording feels intimate, warm, and deeply human. That honesty gives the piece its strongest impact.
Listeners are already connecting with the release online. Spotify’s support through the New Classical playlist also introduces Laura’s music to a much wider audience.
A Growing Presence in Classical Music
The success of Berceuse highlights Laura Mazon Franqui’s growing presence in modern classical music. Her approach combines technical skill with emotional storytelling, helping her stand out in today’s classical landscape.
Laura also thanked Prima Classic for supporting her career since the beginning. In addition, she praised Leo Brouwer for his lasting influence on classical guitar music.
With Berceuse, Laura Mazon Franqui delivers more than a beautiful recording. She creates a heartfelt tribute that speaks through love, memory, and music.
