This mindblowing CD can be seen as an amazing and authentic diagram into Antony&#8217;s soul as it travels through this amazing thing we call &#8220;Life&#8221;.  The musical instrument he uses to deliver these insights is his commanding, vulnerable and exquisite voice.  I&#8217;m sure that Maria Callas was an influence in his delivery.
