Platero and I, with Gideon Cordover15/8/2015 About the show ... Internationally renowned classical guitarist Jacob Cordover joins forces with his brother Gideon Cordover, an award winning actor and NIDA graduate, to bring to life Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s musicalisation of Platero and I. Set for narrator and classical guitar, these beautiful reflections of the simple joys of life are just as enjoyable as ever. A century ago the Spanish poet and Nobel Prize Laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez wrote his beloved lyric prose Platero and I. These charming stories tell of the adventures of a young man and his donkey, Platero, in their Andalusian Village. 46 years later, Italian composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, borrowing from his experience as a film composer, set each 'verse' to music. Each movement is a snapshot: the friendship between the man and his donkey, the change of seasons, children in the village, an encounter with gypsies and so on. In this setting, the beautifully crafted music colours the narration and brings the whole experience to life, captivating the minds and attention of children and children-at-heart alike.
