If you’re
looking for a good read in this relaxed period after the New Year, let me
recommend The
Slave’s Chorus – the 2016 posts whose format I explained in this
post a month ago
The title is
a reference to the Brexit and Trump upsets – when the vox (and disgust) of the populi
was loudly heard - and reminded me of the electrifying performance of Verdi’s
opera of that name which I heard in the early 90s in Brno (Moravia). The way it was
being sung sent shivers down my spine with its expression of the long pent-up
frustration in the country……
……I do the
drive between Bucharest and Sofia fairly frequently and had interesting side
trips to both Eastern and Western parts of the countries during the year which
are duly recorded……as well as my artistic and wine experiences…….
A nice
feature this year, I think, are the illustrations which, for the most part, are
taken from my painting collection….and here is the book in more accessible format - https://issuu.com/ronaldyoung0/docs/the_slaves__chorus
