“Mozart in Havana,” eight live concerts by 11 Cuban pianists on three DVDs by the Cuban pianist Ulises Hernandez, will go on sale in Havana sponsored by Colibri Records to commemorate the 250th birth anniversary of the Austrian musician.

The DVD was launched by Ulises Hernandez on January 27 at the house where Wolfgang Amadues Mozart was born in Salzburg and includes all sonatas and fantasies composed for piano by this musician.

Colibri director Marta Bonet told press that the work is a combination of images of the piano players interpreting Mozart’s compositions with sequences of this city.
