Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

Nicolai Ghiaurov sings "Ella giammai m´amo"
Bulgarian bass Nicolai Ghiaurov (born 1929) sings "Ella giammai m'amo" from Verdi´s Don Carlo.
The AMG Allmusic Guide to Classical Music describes his voice in this way:
During his prime, his voice was among the richest and most sonorous basses of the twentieth century, and even as much of its freshness and bloom was gone toward the end of his career, it retained its expressiveness and technical excellence.
I hope you enjoy his singing as much as I do!
