Troubadours and Jongleurs
 |
On May 18, 1998 at 8:30 pm was the presentation of my book "Troubadours and Jongleurs" at the Palace-Museum Cerralbo, supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture and by the Museum's Foundation. It's one of those acts I'll never forget, because of the matchless frame of the Palace, the level of the presenters and the destination the copyright had (donated integrally to Amnesty International Spain). |
|
Of the program, I'll never forget the presentation of my friends the philosopher Javier Sádaba, and that of Concha Marquéz Piquer, Ramiro Oliveros and Francisco Valladares, who recited poems from the Provençal translated by me. And Nuria Llopis' provençal harp that delighted us with melodies from the period.
