Customer Reviews of Dedicado a Antonio Machado, Poeta

cd quality
I was heartbroken to find that the quality of the recording is this bad... lots of hissing and noise that could be easily removed with modern technology. It just goes to show that music companies like BMG prefer to put resources on junk than to pay attention to what people really buy, because even with the bad quality, Serrat's work shines. Joan Manuel, if you are reading this, get rid of BMG, go somewhere else. You are too good for that mafia.

Excelente
Serrat obtuvo el 26 de julio del 2000 el Primer Premio Antonio Machado que lo otorga la Fundación Española Antonio Machado, debido al gran trabajo que realizó con este disco en el año de 1969, dando a conocer a muchos, al gran poeta español 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 español, una obra de arte, respaldada por hermosos y grandes poemas y una musica tan cálida y exquisita, acompañada por la particular voz de, para mí, el más grande cantante de España y de los países de lengua española.

Poetry and music
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...
