Platero y yo, May 14, 2009
This review is from: Platero y yo - Elegia Andaluza (Audio CD)
This is a beautifully written story about a man and his donkey that, when narrated by Nelson Brenes, is both touching and warmhearted. The guitarist, Frank Koonce, is masterful in his interpretation. A wonderful story that is beautifully recorded.

Frank Koonce guitar & Nelson Brenes voice, Platero y yo by Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco, April 26, 2009
This review is from: Platero y yo - Elegia Andaluza (Audio CD)
Frank Koonce is an extraordinary and refined musician who's professional career I've been following during the last ten years. His new version of Platero y yo by the Italian composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco is an extraordinary achievement. What I can hear in this recording is a perfect balance between an outstanding player and a great emotive orator, not easy to reach because you have to understand the deep meaning of the words by Juan Ramon Jimenez and the technical difficulties that Castelnuovo-Tedesco demands for this work. This is a great recording to hear and hear many times!

Platero y Yo, May 9, 2009
This review is from: Platero y yo - Elegia Andaluza (Audio CD)
La musicalidad y elegancia en la ejecución de la guitarra a cargo de Frank Koonce hacen, junto con la emotiva voz de Nelson Brenes, la mezcla homogénea perfecta entre música y poesía. Uno no puede sino dejarse llevar por tan conmovedoras historias que describen desde la gracia y alegría que Platero desplega, hasta la profunda tristeza que su partida deja, propias de una elegía. Es un CD para coleccionar.
