Είναι και οι δύο από τους αγαπημένους μου ερμηνευτές.
Οι φωνές τους σε μαγεύουν και το ταξίδι που προσφέρουν είναι ανεκτίμητο.
Είναι όμως και μοναδικοί άνθρωποι όπως θα διαπιστώσετε διαβάζοντας το κείμενο που ακολουθεί.
IT’S ABOUT TWO OF THREE TENORS – LUCIANO PAVAROTTI, PLACIDO DOMINGO AND JOSÉ CARRERAS WHO STIRRED THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR SINGING TOGETHER.
EVEN THOSE WHO’VE NEVER VISITED
IT SO HAPPENS THAT, PLACIDO DOMINGO IS MADRILEÑO AND JOSÉ CARRERAS IS CATALÁN.
FOR POLITICAL REASONS, IN 1984, CARRERAS AND DOMINGO BECAME ENEMIES.
BEING THAT THEY WERE VERY POPULAR AND MUCH SOUGHT AFTER AROUND THE WORLD, BOTH STATED IN THEIR CONTRACTS THAT THEY WOULD PERFORM ONLY IF THE OTHER WAS NOT INVITED.
HE WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE WITH A TERRIBLE DIAGNOSIS: LEUKEMIA!
HIS FIGHT AGAINST CANCER WAS A PAINFUL ONE. HE WAS SUBJECTED TO NUMEROUS TREATMENTS, BESIDES HAVING A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT AND BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS THAT FORCED HIM TO TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES ONCE A MONTH.
UNABLE TO WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THOUGH HE POSSESSED A CONSIDERABLE FORTUNE, THE HIGH COST OF THESE TRIPS AND MEDICAL TREATMENTS DEPLEATED HIS FINANCES.
WHEN AT THE END OF HIS FINANCIAL ABILITY, HE DISCOVERED A FOUNDATION IN MADRID, THE SOLE PURPOSE OF WHICH WAS THE SUPPORT OF TREATMENT FOR THE SUFFERERS OF LEUKEMIA.
THANKS TO THE SUPPORT FROM THE “HERMOSA” FOUNDATION, CARRERAS CONQUERED THE DISEASE AND RETURNED TO SINGING.
ONCE AGAIN HE ATTAINED TO AN ELEVATED AND DESERVED STATUS AND ATTEMPTED TO JOIN THE FOUNDATION.
READING THEIR BY-LAWS, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE FOUNDER, LEADING CONTRIBUTOR AND PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION, WAS PLACIDO DOMINGO.
HE LATER FOUND OUT THAT PLACIDO HAD ORIGINALLY FORMED THIS ORGANIZATION TO HELP HIM WITH HIS TREATMENT, BUT HAD CHOSEN TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS IN ORDER TO NOT HUMILIATE HIM IN ACCEPTING HELP FROM HIS “ENEMY”.
SURPRISING PLACIDO AT ONE OF HIS PERFORMANCES IN
PLACIDO HELPED HIM UP AND WITH A BIG HUG THEY SEALED THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT FRIENDSHIP.
HIS ANSWER WAS SHORT AND DEFINITE:
KEEP IT IN YOUR HEART,
IT IS THE SOUL OF SOMEONE THAT REACHED THE GOAL
OF GIVING OTHERS HIS LOVE…

Τους λατρεύω και τους δύο. Ειλικρινά δεν το ήξερα και με συγκίνησε αφάνταστα. Από κάτι τέτοια παίρνω θάρρος να συνεχίσω γιατί έχω πάρει μεγάλη απογοήτευση από την ανθρώπινη συμπεριφορά κατά καιρούς.
Καλημέρα σεξ+πυρ!
Ήξερα για την περιπέτεια του Carreras αλλά δεν ήξερα το παρασκήνιο αυτό. Έπαθα κι εγώ όταν το διάβασα...
