Laura Mazon Franqui “Berceuse” Added to Spotify’s Prestigious New Classical Playlist
Classical guitarist Laura Mazon Franqui is celebrating a major career milestone. Her newest single, Berceuse by legendary Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, has officially been added to Spotify’s New Classical playlist.
The playlist is considered one of the most influential classical music playlists in the world. The achievement places Laura alongside internationally recognised names including The BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jon Batiste, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
The single is part of her latest album, Rojo, and is now available on all streaming platforms.
A Major Moment for Laura’s Career
Being featured on Spotify’s New Classical playlist is a significant achievement for any classical artist. The playlist introduces selected musicians to a worldwide audience and highlights some of the most exciting releases in modern classical music.
For Laura, the recognition represents another important step in her growing international career. It also shines a spotlight on her expressive approach to classical guitar performance.
The addition of Berceuse to the playlist has already generated excitement among fans and supporters online.
The Personal Story Behind “Berceuse”
While the playlist success is exciting, the story behind the recording makes the release even more meaningful.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Laura Mazon Franqui revealed that Berceuse is deeply connected to the memory of her late aunt. She shared that her aunt used to sing the piece to her as a child and became one of the biggest inspirations in her artistic journey.
Laura recorded the song only three months after her aunt passed away.
The emotional weight of the experience made the recording process incredibly difficult. According to Laura, the final version heard on streaming platforms was captured in a single take.
She explained that she became emotional while performing the piece but continued playing to preserve the honesty of the moment.
A Raw and Honest Recording
Instead of recording multiple versions, Laura decided to keep the original take because of its authenticity and emotional depth.
She described the performance as “raw and honest” and called the piece a tribute to her aunt.
That vulnerability appears to be resonating with listeners. The release combines technical precision with genuine emotion, creating a performance that feels both intimate and powerful.
Thanking the Team Behind the Release
Laura also thanked Prima Classic for supporting her career since the beginning and for believing in her artistic vision.
In addition, she shared her appreciation for composer Leo Brouwer, whose music continues to influence generations of classical guitarists around the world.
With Berceuse now reaching a global audience through Spotify’s New Classical playlist, the release marks both a professional triumph and a deeply personal moment in Laura’s career.
Berceuse is available now on all major streaming platforms as part of Rojo.
