Innovation, fusion, interdisciplinary nature, and pedagogy are some of the concepts that best describe the creative line of the Barcelona Clarinet Players (BCP). The group, formed in 2010, has performed at the main music halls in Spain such as Palau de la Musica de Valencia, Auditori de Barcelona, and in such countries as Austria, Belgium, France, Mexico, and the United States. This collaboration with Eugene Corporon and the North Texas Wind Symphony, featuring repertoire from primarily Spanish composers, is remarkable and refreshing!

From my very first visit in the summer of 1980, the city of Barcelona fascinated me in all it's senses, from Montjuic, Las Ramblas and the monumental cathedral of La Sagrada Familia to the Palau de la M sica, La Boquer a market and Plaza de Espa a. This must have influenced positively in my relationship with the members of the "Barcelona Clarinet Players," which was love at first sight that began in 2018 during my conversation with the outstanding Cuban-Spanish pianist Pepe Rivero at the AIE headquarters in Barcelona. That afternoon they told me about the arrangement they had made of my "Afro" for a music program for children, so when I got back home I started sending them pieces of mine adapted from versions for previous formats, such as "Cuban Sharks", "A Farewell Mambo", "The Elephant and the Clown", "La Fleur de Cayenne","Kites over Havana" or "Wapango".

All of this until one fine day the restless Barcelona Clarinetists got excited at commissioned me an original work for this very special musical ensemble."Fantas as Barcel nicas"was born, moved by three emblematic Catalan artists whom I have admired for years: The inspired novelist Carlos Ruiz Zaf n, who narrated the mysteries of the night in Barcelona, the charismatic pianist Tete Montoliu, whose sense of swing and jazz improvisation are an indispensable part of the soundtrack of the city where Mir and Caball were born; and finally the brilliant architect Antoni Gaud , who with his amazing and luminous style, fills the streets of his native land with unrepeatable architectural gems. The fact that this extraordinary group of fellow clarinetists decided on recording a CD with works of my own honors me by offering me the opportunity to sing publicly my love for this magical city and my devotion to some of his most beloved children.~ Paquito D'Rivera, December 2021 https://sirenrecords.com/UPC/016728456128
