5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente, December 23, 2000

By	Rodrigo Crespo Elizondo (Monterrey, México) - See all my reviews

Serrat obtuvo el 26 de julio del 2000 el Primer Premio Antonio Machado que lo otorga la Fundación Espańola Antonio Machado, debido al gran trabajo que realizó con este disco en el ańo de 1969, dando a conocer a muchos, al gran poeta espańol del siglo XX, de una manera tan hermosa y deliciosa. Este disco contiene 11 poemas de Machado musicalizados por Serrat, y una canción de Joan Manuel dedicada a su poeta. Es otro de los grandes discos de la musica en espańol, una obra de arte, respaldada por hermosos y grandes poemas y una musica tan cálida y exquisita, acompańada por la particular voz de, para mí, el más grande cantante de Espańa y de los países de lengua espańola.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry and music, August 25, 2000

By A Customer

Antonio Machado was one of Spain's 20th century's best poets. Raised in Andalucía, his poetry has become national common culture and this album greatly contributed to that. Serrat, himself a notable poet as well as the most important songwriter of Spain for the past thirty five years, wrote excellent music for a handful of Machado's poems. The result is incredibly beautiful, with an match between tempo and meaning so outstanding that for the not-so-well-read it might be difficult to digest the news that it was not Serrat's lyrics...

5.0 out of 5 stars Machado is poetry from the hart, Serrat is the hart beat, December 4, 1998

This review is from: Dedicado a Antonio Machado Poeta (Audio CD)

I have spent many years in countries where war and despair were around me every day; listening to this music has made my days happier for years. Machado knew how to deliver poetry that could excel the soul, Serrat's magnificent voice and passion makes the delivery sweeter and more profound.
