"We do not remember days, we remember moments." So said Cesare Pavese, Italian novelist and poet. We all have had glorious "golden moments" in our lives, and poignant memories of these times return occasionally, consciously and in dreams. Sometimes the lyrics and melody of a song can bring back a flood of remembrances. The voice of Julio Iglesias, singing the ballads he made famous, especially from the 1970s, invariably brings to mind a world gone by, and people, very dear, who are now lost to me - but not to my inner world.

Generally speaking, a good collection. It does miss a couple of Iglesia's popular songs but all the great ones are there.
The reason I subtracted a star is that several of the tracks are technically inferior. They come in Mono, and the recordings are not that clean. Makes me wonder because Julio started his singing career around the time when most recording studios had already transition to stereo (even in Spain and Latin America). Besides, the artist has re-recorder most of his greatest hits many times since.
