[@gaytenor]

A wonderful performance by a really gifted baritone with a long line, vocal beauty, and a really easy top.

[@rosanitacampos1728]

Bravo!!! The best!

[@MsF1Annie]

Being a baritone himself, Verdi knew how to write for the baritone voice so that it touched the audience on a visceral level. He knew that when the baritone really has to reach for a note in the upper range, it produces the emotion and expression. Bravo Dima.

MAGNIFICO

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

I have heard many recordings of Dmitri performing this but I hadn’t heard this one. It is a magical performance where my scalp just tingled when he reached for the high notes. The resonance he produced when his whole mouth and head became a cavernous echo chamber is amazing and not something I have heard in other baritones. Pavarotti did it with his tenor arias and Caballe was able to do the same. That’s when you know you are listening to the voice of a genius…maybe even other-worldly! God bless you Dmitri. Thank heavens we have such recordings as this that we may never forget your gift ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thricegreatart]

Dear Dima, we will miss you so!

Majestic di Luna! This aria is perhaps the best baritone marker (and my absolute favorite), and Dima performs superbly! A mellow baritone, with full and resonant lower notes, strong upper range and stentorian interpolated A4 in the end!

[@Agorante]

This is funny. People complaining about his high A! Listen for comparison to the Gobbi version also on KZbin. Gobbi not only avoids all the high notes he chops the line up so as to grab breaths. Hvor has the longest lines since Lisitsian. Another wonderful Russky baritone is Konstantin Rittel-Kobylianski. Gobbi takes almost as many breaths as GranForte, but Apollo at least uses all that air for humongous tone. Its odd how good the Russians are at Italian style.

[@principecalaf]

He's not a tenor, he just sings with the right technique, the that permit to control the voice from low to top!

Wszystkie piękne słowa zostały już wypowiedziane pod adresem tego wyjątkowego Człowieka. Powiem więc tylko;każdy,kto chociaż raz usłyszał Go i zobaczył nie odważy się porównać z żadną,inna osobowością sceniczną.Bo takiej po prostu nie ma i nie sądzę ,aby kiedykolwiek się pojawiła. On był,jest i będzie tym kimś,kto nadał blasku operze,zawojował serca pieśniami wojennych lat,zniżał głos do włoskiego bell canto i francuskiego chansone. Jeszcze jedno,najważniejsze:On nadal śpiewa w naszych sercach i nigdy nie przestanie. Pozdrawiam wszystkich wielbicieli tego nieziemskiego Artysty.❤

It is so sweet and funny how the fair violin lady looks so enchanted by Dmitri (3:06 - 3:15)! She almost lost concentration :))). But, it is only nomal, this perfomance is a master class!!!

[@sobatinyela]

don't be so sure amigo.. word has it that he started as a tenor and found that his voice was better suited for baritone rep. That is not unprecedented.. Dwayne Croft switched from tenor to bari.. and the talk of "Handsome" Thomas Hampson being a lazy tenor was rampant. A male voice with a medium tessitura can go either way.. it's all about whether the voice has a strong, bright upper extension and the singer's personality. Dmitri made the right choice! One of the greatest of our times. :)

Sorry? The cadenza is come scritto in the original score. Its not actually not-in-style but on the contrary, very much the 1853 Verdi style. It actually turns this aria even more difficult. Bravo Dima!!

Sperda il sole d'un suo sguardo La tempesta del mio cor. Odesi il rintocco de' sacri bronzi Qual suono!... oh ciel... FERRANDO La squilla Vicino il rito annunzia! CONTE Ah! pria che giunga All'altar... si rapisca!... FERRANDO Ah bada! CONTE Taci!... Non odo... andate... di quei faggi all'ombra Celatevi...

@sobatinyela i have heard him (HD) in person say in a video on youtube something like his teachers wanted him to sing as a tenor ,but he chose to be baritone , it had something to do with girls :-)or what, i didnt understand. and i like his singing very much even if there is never enought goood tenors:-)

[@ioancoca6712]

In fact it was very difficult for him to sing as a tenor since his voice is one of a baritone . But also he has some amazing high notes such as the high A at the end of the video

[@eurydike]

@tmtstudio1983 Silly idea. Why would Hvorostovsky become tenor:))? Baritones sound better:-) But with such a Don Ottavio DOnna Anna wouldnt have wanted to wait with her marriage so long:)

[@SuperMagicVoice]

Quelloc he non capisco però è cosa voglia dire "nel finale canta da tenore" :D è una cosa che sento troppo spesso e nessuno mai la spiega :D che diavolo vuol dire che nel finale canta da tenore!? Di difetti ce ne sono tanti in DH, ma non ho capito che cosa significa quella frase lì, tutto qui

[@cmmenah]

Sory for that "cadenza". It was used long ago, but no more in style. Not dramatic, but kind of "circus". Apart from that, very good voice, but perhaps too young for the rol. Of course, he is older now.

[@xav71176]

wow high A... didn't know Hvorostovsky was a lyric tenor lol... even the alto player girl seems so much in love
