Borys Hmyrya. Diaries. 1936-1969.

"We know about lots of cases of writers', poets', political leaders' writing diaries, but very few of them are known for singers, especially of such universal scale as B. Hmyrya was. Based on his entries (and he made them daily during 33 years), the singer arises through his doubts, worries, suffering, creativity, reflections. Briefly marking his successes and generously – his failures, Borys Romanovych hides nothing, so he is interesting for the reader, especially for those who begin their career on opera and concert stages.

The diaries are published in full for the first time – without outtakes. For the first time in the global music culture, one can see and track the laboratory of the vocalist's creative process, his methods and approaches in selecting and preparing pieces for being performed, professional analysis of concerts, opera performances, etc. But most importantly, in his diaries Hmyrya revealed and developed the philosophy of the vocal, the role and significance of the singer in his relationships with the listener (the audience). Supplemented with comments, excerpts from the press, letters of Hmyrya, his articles and so on, the diaries acquired the fiction literature form – interesting and exciting for the reader." Ganna Prince, the president of Borys Hmyrya Foundation

Language of the publication – Russian and Ukrainian, the languages in which B. Hmyrya did his diary entries.
