Synopsis

Composer Joaquín Rodrigo's music is an homage to the rich and varied cultures of Spain, from the ancient Roman conquerors of Iberia to modern Spanish poets and writers. The blind composer was assisted and inspired by his talented wife, pianist Victoria Kamhi, who shares their story in this charming memoir. She tells of the unique life they shared together and the influence music had on them as well as the struggles and joys of their personal lives that were inevitably written back into the music itself.
