| | Amazon.com: Anoranzas/Homenaje Rafael Hernandez Y Pedro Flor: Music: Javier Solis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28) |
 | | Unfortunately, the original title, "Portrait of an Island" was renamed "Anorazas / Homenaje A Rafael Hernandez y Pedro Flores." Fortunately, I FINALLY found it, and as an added bonus, songs have been added to the original selections. |
 | | CAVEAT: one odd aspect of the album, included here, are the "recitados," which are spoken prologues to "Lamento Borincano" and "Despedida." Apparently, the original piece was a bit of a concept album, interpreting the island of Puerto Rico (Borinquen), following a theme of poverty, love, war, death (the universal themes). |
 | | Despite that, the flawless and incredible range of Solis is heavenly and deeply satisfying. |
