In the world of classical music, a new gem has emerged, gleaming with the rich heritage of the Canary Islands. Rebeca Nuez Suarez, a violin prodigy born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has recently released her latest single, “Jackie’s Song,” a piece that resonates with the soulful depth of her unique artistic voice.
From a tender age, Nuez Suarez was cradled in the arms of music. Her journey began under the tutelage of her father at three, and by six, she was studying the violin with her uncle. This early exposure to classical music, coupled with the folk traditions embraced by her parents, has shaped Suarez into an artist of both technical excellence and emotional depth.
Nuez Suarez’s talent bloomed early, with her first public performance at the tender age of seven and a blooming international performance path ever since.
Her latest release, “Jackie’s Song,” is more than just a single; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the cellist Jacqueline du Pré, the iconic cello legend whose legacy continues to inspire musicians worldwide. Composed by Julian Lloyd Webber, this piece is in itself a tender homage, capturing the spirit and passion of du Pré’s musicianship.
The music video for “Jackie’s Song” filmed in Liverpool’s St George’s Hall with pianist Daniel Cassidy is a delightful spectacle. Released on the 26th of January, Jacqueline du Pré’s birthday, the video is a fitting tribute to the cello star, and a captivating display of Nuez Suarez’s own artistry.
The emotional depth and technical prowess Nuez Suarez pours into her performances shine through her interpretation of “Jackie’s Song”. Her signature vibrato brings uncontainable passion and a unique richness of sound to Lloyd Webber’s joyful melody, a proud homage indeed to the late du Pré.
Bridging the classical tradition with a fresh contemporary sensibility, Rebeca Nuez Suarez has solidified her place as one of the most exciting young stars to watch.
