Pau Casals, the man who turned silence into music

In times of "influencers", clicks and all kinds of stupidity, it is a must to remember that having moral principles was once respectable and respected. In addition to being an extraordinary musician, Pau Casals was a man who had peace and the fight against fascism as his driving force. He was a true humanist.

On October 24, 1971, he received a medal from the United Nations. His impassioned speech in favor of peace and against war still resonates today.

Pau Casals died in Puerto Rico on October 22, 1973 at age 96. After the death of the Spanish dictator Franco, the remains of Casals were transferred to El Vendrell, his hometown in Catalonia.
