Alberto Hernández is the Humanities Research Librarian at the University of West Florida. He has published articles and entries in American Music Teacher, Psychology Education, and The Latino Encyclopedia (1996).

For Alberto Hernández this biography was eight years and one sabbatical in the writing, and has been a true labour of love. Presented in a very readable style, it is well-researched, illustrated with black and white photographs and commendably detailed in its rigorous scrutiny of Sanromá’s life; it held my interest throughout. Detailed notes are conveniently situated at the end of each chapter. There are two appendices: the first is a comprehensive repertoire listing, with the second offering a list of private and commercial recordings sourced from Esteban Moreno, the Sanromá family and the author. Finally, there’s a helpful bibliography. All told, this first rate study gets my full-hearted recommendation and is well worth tracking down.
