Program Notes
Manual Ponce composed his most famous work Estrellita (little star) in 1912. This is not a normal love song, as is usually thought, but "nostalgia viva" (living nostalgia). Ponce was also the first Mexican composer to project popular music onto the world stage: Estrellita has been part of the repertoire of the main orchestras of the world and countless singers.
