Julio Iglesias - A Time For Romance

Born on the 23rd September 1943 in Madrid to eminent physician Julio Sr and wife Maria. It could be claimed that Julio Jr had the best start in life; he had the best of schooling and studied law as a means to following his ambition to becoming a career diplomat. But he was also a superb athlete with a natural flair for football, and as time would tell it was the call of the stadium rather than the political arena that finally won the day. Such was his footballing potential he was eventually signed up by Real Madrid as a goalkeeper; this ambition realised he believed his future was secure until fate dealt him a cruel blow when he was involved in a car accident and partially paralysed, leaving him with a two year battle to learn to walk again. It was whilst recuperating he became interested in music and showed yet again that he possessed a natural talent by winning at the 1968 Sony Festival in Madrid singing “La Vida Sigure Igual”. This unexpected introduction to the world’s stage was but a short step to world-wide fame. In our fabulous DVD we show Julio performing in a sensational 1981 production with the accompaniment of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at the Sultans Pool in Jerusalem. The scene is one of magic, the voice one of pure gold – an altogether exceptional viewing and listening experience. Performance listing: 1. Con Una Pinta Asi 2. El Amor 3.
