Alla Bayanova

Bayanova was born in Kishinev in the family of an opera singer, who moved to Paris in 1918 after Bessarabia decided to unite with Romania . She debuted on the stage as an assistant to her father in 1923, aged 9. By 1927, she was already performing solo A major step forward in her career was when she assisted Alexander Vertinsky in his famous show at the Hermitage Restaurant, Montmartre. Two years later, her family moved to Belgrade, while Bayanova went on touring in Germany Greece, Palestine, and Egypt. In 1931, she got acquainted with Pyotr Leshchenko, a foremost Russian singer of the time, who helped her to join the Pavilion Russe in Bucharest. She married a local aristocrat, George Ypsilanti, and made several recordings of tangos(e.g., Columbia, His Master's Voice). After her divorce from Ypsilanti, she signed a contract with the Polish recording company "Syrena-Electro".
In March 1941 Bayanova was arrested by the Romanian authorities and interned into a concentration camp for having performed in the Russian language. Although released in May 1942, she was kept under surveillance until the end of World War II.
In the 1960s and 1970s, while still living in Romania, Bayanova issued eight LPs. Nicolae Ceauşescu's government, however, pressed her into migrating to the USSR in 1988. Thereupon she settled in Moscow, making occasional appearances on the Russian television.
Bayanova was named People's Artist of Russian Federation and celebrated the 80th anniversary of her stage career in 2003. In 2004 she sang in a concert to celebrate her 90th birthday. Her last work was in collaboration with Marc Almond on several duets.
She died on 30 August 2011, aged 97, of cancer. Upon learning of her death, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated: “Her life was dedicated to the high purpose of bringing people joy through interaction with true art. Ms Bayanova had a rare, beautiful voice, and her mastery and heartfelt performances of Russian songs gained her recognition around the world.”

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated
near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for
35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during
 the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that
all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep
 under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern
 was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas
 could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning,
already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how
many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years
but it just seems to be infinite there.

PERSON. THANKS TO A WORLD-CLASS REHABILITATION PROGRAM HE ATTENDED AT THE HINES,
ILLINOIS VETERANS AFFAIRS HOSPITAL SHORTLY AFTER HIS RECOVERY, THE DESPERATION WAS ONLY TEMPORARY. MILLER, LIKE MANY BLINDED VETERANS, DISCOVERED HIS LIFE’S WORK AND GAINED THE CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE IT THROUGH EDUCATION, TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. HE EVENTUALLY SPENT TWENTY-SIX YEARS DIRECTING THE WORK OF THE BLINDED VETERANS ASSOCIATION, OR B-V-A, THE VERY ORGANIZATION THAT PERSUADED CONGRESS AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IN THE LATE 1940S TO ESTABLISH THE V-A PROGRAM THAT CHANGED HIS LIFE. MILLER VISITED CONGRESS HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF BLINDED VETERANS AND THEIR POTENTIAL.

Swingle Singers; New York Philharmonic; the composer conducting."The second section of Sinfonia is a tribute to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A workout of Berio's "rotating pitch cycles," the phonemes making up King's name are vocalized in a rotating sequence anchored in F and A, with a different selection of notes sustained each cycle. The effect is the creation of an eerie "harmonic cloud," oscillating between two whole-tone areas, all of which means that it sounds pretty spooky. Initiated with a sharp blare from the horns, the voices build up in soothing but eerie waves of otherworldly reverence, bringing to mind Ligeti's Requiem (familiar to many from Kubrick's film, 2001: A Space Odyssey). The syllables float above a layer of shimmering music, piling up like clouds of incense, with frequent spikes of brass and piano shooting through the haze like needles. By the time Martin Luther King's name is finally spoken in full, a hesitant drumroll underpins the voices, bringing everything just to the edge of an uncomfortable tension -- a bizarre Mass fraught with the potential for violence."
