A genuine renaissance man, Giuseppe Sinopoli, was born on November 2, 1946 in Venezia, Italia. He was a truly fascinating figure because he combined an extraordinary musical career with interests in medicine, archaeology, philosophy, and ancient history. A true intellectual, Sinopoli studied conducting at the Venice Conservatory and mentored in composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen. He also studied medicine at the University of Padua and obtained a doctorate in medicine, with an emphasis on psychiatry. But Sinopoli was not simply a conductor who happened to be interested in other subjects.He was deeply fascinated by the relationship between music, psychology, mythology, and human emotion. He studied archaeology at Rome's La Sapienza University, with a particular interest in ancient civilizations. Lamentably, while conducting Verdi's Aida at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, he suffered a fatal heart attack during the third act at the age of 54. “Music is perhaps the moment in which man reaches, through his senses and intellect, the extreme boundaries of matter.”

The radiant lyric soprano, Victoria de los Ángeles, was born on November 1, 1923 in Barcelona, Spain. She was admired for her extraordinary vocal beauty, emotional sincerity, musical intelligence, and seemingly effortless elegance, in conjunction with communicating kindness, humanity, and serenity. Particularly celebrated for her interpretations of French, Italian, German, and Spanish repertoire her voice had a distinctive warmth and tenderness that made her performances deeply affecting. She was not a spectacular, theatrical diva in the conventional sense. Her greatness lay in her naturalness, warmth, exquisite phrasing, and ability to communicate emotion without exaggeration. "Glory and fame have always seemed very trivial to me...The most important thing is to make music; it fills me with great joy every time I go out to sing...One must be honest, sincere, and authentic.” Victoria's words carry a quiet truth ~ authenticity gives every note its meaning.
