DMITRI HVOROSTOVSKY IN TWO LIVE RECITALS

Przyslala Basia Jaworski


After Hvorostovsky won the Cardiff Competition in 1989, record companies were queuing up to sign a contract with him. Philips was chosen and promptly a small number of recitals and a few complete operas were recorded with him.




Hvorostovsky in Cardiff:

It was all too premature, Hvorostovsky was not ready: he did not speak any languages but his own, and his repertoire was much too limited. His contract was not renewed, and things went downhill for him.

But he redeemed himself in a big way! On 18 July 1998, he gave a recital for thousands of enthusiastic listeners at the Festival de Lanaudière. He sang the Songs and Dances of Death by Mussorgsky, followed by a number of arias.

I have to confess that I had been planning to read a book to help me pass the time, but I never did. Instead I listened breathlessly to his velvety voice, his matchless legato and his flawless interpretation, which moved me to tears. As Hvorostovsky is such a very charismatic singer, it is a pure unadulterated pleasure to be watching him.

  1. Moje zauroczenie tym wielkim piesniarzem zapoczatkowalo obejrzenie nagrania akurat NIE operalnego ale pieknego wykonania „Tiomnaya notcz”.On lubil wykonywac i piosenki zwiazane z WW II , a takze kojarzone z juz powojennym,sowieckim ZSRR i byl w tym wyjatkowo dobry!
    Bardzo mna wstrzasnela jego przedwczesna smierc ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze-ilosci wodki, ktora w siebie wlewal-musialy jakos sie odbic na jego zdrowiu…..
    Dobrze,ze pozostaly nagrania do zachwycania sie tym wielkim barytonem!
