The boy who imagined music: a musical story.
The gripping story of a young blind boy who dreamed of being a musician and went on to become
a great composer. His life was as exciting as a novel. His journey through life is an example of
overcoming hardships.
The boy who imagined music narrates in the first person the story of a child who rose above his physical handicap
of blindness to triumph in life and become one of Spain’s most universal composers. The narration
is accompanied by numerous fragments of Joaquín Rodrigo’s pieces.
Script by Eduardo Moyano, CD version narrated by Iñaki Gabilondo, and CD booklet illustrations
by Teo Puebla.
