During the years 1976 and 1981 I spent with my family five years in San Diego, California. Among other works, I composed there, commissioned by Montserrat Caballé, my song cycle Del atardecer al alba or Recuerdos de juventud, which the catalan diva sang later at the most prestigious concert halls around the world, including its world premiere at the Carnegie Hall, New York.
In California I met Celedonio Romero and his family, the legendary Guitar Quartet formed by Celedonio, Celin, Pepe and Angel Romero. To them I owe my knowledge and passion for the guitar, for them I composed my Nocturnos de Andalucía for guitar and orchestra and in memory of Celedonio I wrote my concerto for four guitars and orchestra Concierto de Cienfuegos, the city in Cuba where he was born. Besides being the grand maestro of the guitar that he was, Celedonio enjoyed immensely his ability as a poet. He wrote poems with great easy. Before his death, Celedonio printed a small book with a collection of these poems. In the copy he dedicated to me he says: "à Hoping you will compose your wonderful music on some of these poems, so they will have more value à". This was the origin of Mi jardín solitario which I dedicated to the memory of Angelita, Celedonio's wife, who was without any doubt the fountain of inspiration of most of his poems. I can't find the words to describe the emotion and the deep affection I felt while composing these songs, in which I tried to keep intact the genuine and, at the same time, simple style of the poems which inspired them.
