Bécquer is arguably the most romantic poet ever.   For close to one hundred and fifty years much of the English speaking world has been unaware of Bécquer's beautiful work.  Now some of his greatest poems have been interpreted and recorded in English by a man that understood both the heart and mind of Bécquer.   John Aragón is a man that has captured the passion and message of Bécquer and brought it to the English speaking world.  This CD is truly a masterful work of verse and music that captures the romantic spirit of Bécquer.

 

What is poetry?  And you ask me this
as you pierce my pupils with your
    ardent ones. 

What is poetry?  Poetry, woman, is you!
