Some words of The Memory of the Mirror,
poems of ClaudioSerraBrun with recording music of Europe and America

...The Memory of the Mirror – Poetry and music from
Europe and America, the series of discs of
Claudio Serra Brun, which gathers his poems
from the more than thirty years of his dedication
to poetry, with music by European and American
composers.
...The renovating idea within the poetic ambit
of divulging poetry in a different format,
with no books, clothed with the music on discs,
tapes, and video-clips which make it worthy
of consideration by the youth is truly the
objective of this work: That poetry reaches
all the youth through the mass media and the
internet. Claudio Serra Brun is, as of today,
the only Spanish language poet (in Spain and
America) who has been publishing his poetry
in CD and tape format. His style of presenting
poetry is, at the moment, innovative and unique
within the Spanish cultural spectrum. .
We always should keep alive the vision of evidence:
that the summary of the work of the entire
humanity gives us a positive result and that
it makes civilizations progress.

...In THE MEMORY OF THE MIRROR
Poetry and music from Europe and America,
Claudio Serra Brun
blends his poems with the music of European
and American composers. In this fifth edition,
he builds a lyric and eternal history, a symphonic
poem from the heights of the Andean Cordillera,
carried on by the melodies of the Bolivian
maestro of the five-stringed Andean guitar
(also known as charango), ERNESTO CAVOUR,
and the magician of the Latin-American percussion,
the Argentinean, DOMINGO CURA. These two renowned
authors, who are part of the American and
universal culture, feed from a long time ago
with the veneration of their work, the multiple
communicating aspects of the popular American
art. To the poems of Claudio Serra Brun, the
interpretation of the radio announcer and
playwright, Oscar Perez, and that of the contralto,
Cristina Aguilar, is added to this volume
V of THE MEMORY OF THE MIRROR. With the mastery
of these two voices, a subtle environment
is bestowed upon this work. Finally, the final
audio effects blend with the voices, the metaphors,
and the music; elements which make this work
turn into one more character, a character
which links, with its steps and strokes of
life, the history narrated by the poems and
the music. The renovating idea within the
poetic ambit of divulging poetry in a different
format, with no books, clothed with the music
on discs, tapes, and video-clips which make
it worthy of consideration by the youth is
truly the objective of this work: That poetry
reaches all the youth through the mass media,
the radio, and the internet. “}...I hope and
wish that this way of bringing poetry to the
contents of the popular music, manage to pierce
through the souls of all the authors from
around the world which are part of the Hispanic
American culture, and that productions such
as this, grow in other countries of the American
continent,” said its author, Claudio Serra
Brun. It is the author’s inexcusable ethical
compromise to try to reach everyone: the ones
that read and the ones who don’t, the youth
which yearns for certainties and values in
life, which seeks to love, to think, to believe,
but also – according to the great Vicente
Aleixandre - to the “undemonstratives of heart,
and the people who are scabrous like towers.”
“}This is also our hope, and thanks for having
crystallized it in such excellent way (Pedro
Bertrán. October 2002, Valencia, Spain)
