9 Se hace saber ...
The album Se hace saber (Let it be known) by the Valencian horn player María Rubio shows off the modern instrument in its purest essence without forgetting its history, displaying the huge range of sonorous and artistic options that it has to offer solo or together with rather unconventional colleagues. All in all, a very Mediterranean contemporary portrait of the horn in the twenty-first century through the visions of eight national and international composers. With this eclectic selection of works and creators, María Rubio shows us in this album her engagement with today's creation, especially that connected to her region of origin. At the same time, the recording Se hace saber has become a tribute to her technical skills, her virtuosity and her versatility, as well as her own trajectory as a horn player. Nine works of very different aesthetics which show off the intrinsic characteristics, history and the multiple facets of this fascinating and still very unknown instrument.
Recorded 28-30 June 2022 at Auditori Rafelbuñol, Valencia, Spain.
