Most of the festival participants had heard
Segovia's recordings of ten solo guitar excerpts from Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Platero y yo, Op. 190, but few
had heard the work as it was intended - with a narrator reading the Nobel prize-winning poetry of Juan Ramón
Jiménez. Guitarist Frank Koonce and narrator Don Doyle, a professional actor and storyteller, presented a
charming and moving performance in English of seventeen pieces (out of a total of 28) drawn from one of
Castelnuovo-Tedesco's finest works - surely one of the highlights of the festival.
