Politics, Economics, Business, Altruism, Classical Music affects us everyday in more ways than we think. Singapore; my home; my city; my country occupies an outsized real estate on this blog. Classical music from the era of baroque, classical and romantic are my favourites.
Mstislav Rostropovich
He is not only a great cello master but also very passionate about his beliefs. He lost his Soviet citizenship for his actions but was re-instated later. He died peacefully in his homeland which shows he has a great love for it. He was there playing his cello by the Berlin Wall when it came down to show his political affinity in-spite of the risks. A great man.
