LLOBET | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

This edition of the Catalan folk songs is more complete and contains more works than in any other edition. It is particularly generously documented. There is also an illustrated 12 page chronology of Llobet’s life with 61 rare photographs and documents. As in all our editions both a detailed documented critical commentary and copious notes are included.

Catalan song also connects Llobet to the cultural restlessness of the epoch in which he was born and grew up, to the movement relating to the birth and definition of a Catalan cultural identity, which, when properly understood, was to reveal all the more fully Llobet’s intellectual and above all his musical stature, before we came to consider him a great poet of the guitar as well.
