Overview
Venezuelan trumpeter Pacho Flores, the first international soloist to emerge from El Sistema and the acclaimed Simón Bolívar Orchestra, makes his debut recording for Deutsche Grammophon with Cantar. Winner of the Maurice André Competition in Paris, Flores demonstrates extraordinary control, lyricism, and artistry in this program that bridges Baroque elegance and Latin American warmth.
With the Konzerthausorchester Berlin conducted by Christian Vásquez, Flores presents both beloved works of the Baroque and modern arrangements crafted to highlight his signature tone and phrasing. Cantar captures the trumpet’s voice not as a brass instrument, but as a singer with soul and resonance.
