Index of works by Manuel Ponce:

[ramonawalter]

This just tears at your heart. What soul this man must have had.

[heyddicimerosado]

I remember I used to hear this song on the radio at my granparents house, I can see them there, God bless their souls. This is pure nostalgia of the past, my beloved México!

[rafaelcolin]

Nostalgia de mis años de estudio en el Conservatorio de las Rosas en Morelia, Michoacán.

[pablogalindoperez]

Manuel M. Ponce de manera profundamente virtuosa sublima mucho de la añoranza y melancolía que la cultura mexicana posee.

[Exelitious]

I love how amazingly clear and expressive he plays when the melody switches to the left hand at 0:48

[luisespino]

Bellísima, excelsa, sublime interpretación de un clásico del inmenso compositor mexicano Manuel María Ponce, orgullo de Latinoamérica.

[ytcarol]

I have a pianist coming to our retirement community to perform and this piece is on his program, so I went looking to hear it ahead of time. Your version of it is absolutely beautiful.

[Pachecure]

Manuel María Ponce Cuellar (December 8, 1886 - April 24, 1948) was very Impressionistic in this piece, giving us traces of moving Cuban habanera rhythms, Spanish passion plays ("tonadilla escénica"), and handling piano dynamics quite wisely, overall. Excellent performance.

[ramonawalter]

How beautifully you play. Could listen all day.

[Madaduxum]

Great as always. It is so romantically impactful and delicate. Tragic and sentimental both.

[rineric]

Thank you for showing the hands clearly the whole time! That is so helpful to musicians for learning - we are in a whole new age in education as a result - but also so entertaining to a simple viewer because it allows to choose what to focus on.

[vicentearreola]

Esta producción es excelente: el enfoque de las manos fabuloso y el de la partitura también
Felicitaciones

[marialisduarte]

Es maravilloso
Me hace sentir, que el corazon
siente de verdad
