Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Pietà, rispetto, amore from Macbeth (CSOTW, 16th June 1989)

Dmitri Hvorostovsky (1962-2017) performing "Pietà, rispetto, amore" from Verdi's opera Macbeth during the fifth preliminary round of the 1989 BBC Cardiff Singer Of The World competition.
The phenomenal showdown with contemporary Bryn Terfel during the Main Prize final soon became known as the 'Battle of the Baritones' and, until this day, marks one of the highlights of the competition's history.
The Russian baritone took the Main Prize that year. He was one of the world’s most extraordinary operatic singers, with a great appreciation for the works of Verdi and Tchaikovsky in particular. He embodied a great variety of characters, including Onegin, Yeletsky, Germont, Don Giovanni, Rigoletto, Count di Luna and many more, at the most renowned opera houses worldwide. He was equally a sought after recitalist, with his repertoire covering a great variety of composers, from Russia and beyond.
In 2019, the Cardiff Singer Audience Prize was dedicated to his memory.

He always had a special way of portraying inner turmoils so vividly and effectively with his facial expressions and his voice. He was a great gift to us. Still is.

In my humble opinion, Dima remains the greatest winner of Cardiff Singer of the World in its 40 year history ❤️❤️❤️

[@user-xj6nv4px3b]

Эту победу Дмитрия в Кардиффе можно сравнить с победой АВВЫ на Евровидении с песней Ваттерлоо.

[@kathleenschallock361]

Amen!!! I second that!!! He is the finest singer I have ever heard and have been waiting 76 years❤ for him!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is not ( just) his superb voice but his looks and as we learnt later on his personality, like a special gift for us mere mortals. I only discovered him at age 78, but what a discovery.

Гениально превосходное исполнение!!Наверное в 50 эта ария звучит ещё краше,потому что дирижёр сознательно замедляет темп более.

Voce sublime. Tra i più grandi. Ma purtroppo il destino ha deciso nel modo peggiore.

[@michelepoletti8208]

Magnifique... Un des grands rôles verdiens de baryton qu'il n'a , sauf erreur, jamais interprétés en integrale (avec aussi Nabucco et Carlo de la Forza del destino).

[@sutherland9]

I heard him sing live on several occasions. His voice was not big and had a muffled quality to it. Seeing a video like this one would think he could produce ringing tones that would fill an opera house, but that was not true. Size of voice aside, he had a lot of good qualities (beauty of tone, legato, breath support, phrasing, et al) and deserved the major career that he had.

[@user-em7hh1tc7v]

Он приумножить свой талант беспрестанно трудом, оценив этот божий дар, что не всем, даже гениальным голосам дано. Жить на сцене, воспарить! Жизнь, отданная музыке-смысл его бытия!

[@thomasvin1]

Was he Heavily miked during this performance in your opinion?

[@user-xj6nv4px3b]

Это Вы во сне наверное его в живую слушали.

[@nskull9368]

@@thomasvin1the microphones that record are usually very close to the singer in competitions like these. Here Dimitri was not amplified but rather sounds larger than he would live because he was very close to the recording microphone.

[@rdargenio]

I tend to agree with @sutherland9 in that I heard him at the Metropolitan Opera on 2 occasions and I expected a larger, more ringing quality in his sound. In his recordings he does exhibit beautiful long phrases and a very pleasing quality. RIP
