Margarita BARKOVA


Romance of Sergey Rakhmaninov
A home recording experiment. - (1.58MB MP3 File)

I have passed through a hell, I have learned through all the bitterness and suffering of my existence, I have learned exile and fear... But I had courage to put before myself a question: either to live, or to die... And now I am truly free and absolutely happy. Nothing can be so convincing and eloquent, as one's own heart, and thirst for LIFE...

The philosophy of life is Life. Life, as end in itself and self-value... New day brings in a warm palm new beams of the life-giving Sun, opening new sides of universal human talent...

Perhaps, you are interested in my trades, hobbies, etc. It is possible you are interested to know: what do I want and why this site... Perhaps, you are not interested by anything here in general, and are simply killing time, rummaging in the deposits of the Internet... But I can tell you one thing: in the world there is nothing casual...

It is little this simple information on me will reveal, however... I have two trades, and consider them as my hobbies, and I have some hobbies quite applying under convenient circumstances to become by my trades... It is pedagogics, chamber singing, art photos, floriculture, oratorical and organizing art, public work, internal contemplation of the Nature and philosophy...

What do I want? I shall answer: the new sensations of a happy person overflow from my heart, and I very much would like to share them in pleasure of dialogue with friends in all world. The world is huge, but friends are a very large rarity and luxury, even in such huge world... Therefore I address through the seas and continents: the FRIENDS, LET'S BECOME the FRIENDS!!!

I'm still working on a better translation of Margarita's words above but I'm certain you can get a sense of her personality despite my inadequate ability to accurately translate Russian. - Clay
