What we have here is a rainbow of hues and perfumes, of sounds and voices, which form a musical variety with which everybody can identify. He and she can change the partition to suit their mood or desire at any given moment. Even better than a potpourri concert made of great classical selections, where you politely have to wait till the end of the performance, whether you like a piece or not, this rich anthology offers you the possibility of jumping from one poem to another and to close the book once your thirst has been quenched, even if it means that you will feel the urge to go back to it ten minutes later.
