Un artista en directo

"Serrat transmite poesía en cada nota y palabra que se desprende en sus canciones. En directo, es capaz de demostrar, todavia hoy, que es un auténtico artista, y que todo lo que graba en estudio puede interpretarse en directo incluso con mayor calidez, feelin', y con la complicidad de un público entregado. Esta es una grabación de una gira antigua, con alguna laguna en la calidad del sonido, pero con interpretaciones históricas de canciones que para algunos de nosotros, en castellano "i també en català.." son ya himnos.Imprescindible."

"Este disco esta llamado a ser el responsable de hacer que las nuevas generaciones conozcan quien es Serrat y como dice las cosas. Los arreglos y la musicalización de los temas, exquisitamente escogidos, lo hacen un album completo.
Imprescindible para quienes recién se inicien asi como tambien también para los fanáticos entendidos."
Serrat, the poet, live

"Joan Manuel Serrat is more than just a singer and songwriter from Catalunia, Spain. He's one of the most brilliant voices and composers in the spectrum of the Spanish language. Since his early days, he's been creating some of the most beautiful pieces, touching on political and social matters every bit as much as love and relationships.With 'Serrat En Directo' (something like 'Serrat Live') you are presented with a comprehensive sample of his best works up to 1984 (when it was originally released). It is a must reference for longtime Serrat followers and newcomers into his music alike, since it provides a peek into a very wide range of his early works and, for the "hardcore" fans, it also offers new arrangements of some of his classic songs, such as "Cantares" (the first Serrat song that I ever heard), "De vez en cuando la vida" and "Cada Loco Con Su Tema", which had come out not too long before this live album.If you like what you hear here, I highly recommend his most recent albums, 'Cansiones' (with an 's', yes) and 'Sombras de la China' and beyond his own work, Silvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanes."
