Que voilà un superbe baryton! voix égale sur toute son étendue, timbre rare et non "métallique" , défaut de la plupart de ses compatriotes....interprétation inspirée, . un vrai grand artiste!..

Певец мира, гений с золотом голосом , духом и сердца

[@ThomasMurphy55]

Three months later I'm listening to this again, and he remains, for me, one of the greatest male singers I've ever heard: ANYONE who can sing the Toreodor's aria from "Carmen", and kick ass with lieder as well, is something special. Those who've never heard this man sing are missing something quite special...

[@ditrower8104]

I so totally agree with you.

[@ElliePearl]

Oh, I cannot stop listening to his voice! It is just so beautiful.

[@caninbar]

This is a true free and beautiful voice, equal throughout its range. What makes it even more exciting, is that he's singing in his mother tongue, and that this song by Rachmaninoff is particularly touching. BRAVO!!!!!

[@ThomasMurphy55]

Terrific: to hear this man sing Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky is heaven...

[@mariagraziagasco-spada6718]

Splendide et infiniment touchant …..

[@flyinghow]

I've always loved Rachmaninov, and I just heard a soprano from Eastman sing this in a Renee Fleming Masterclass, and I am hooked. My God what a beautiful song.

[@connypiano5038]

You can listen to that moving recording a hundred times - it remains a miracle - for ever. Spassiba Dmitrii Aleksandrowitch!

[@MarinaD-k8n]

I think his interpretation is perfect, he is a good actor too....still handsome as he was in 20s and 30s.

[@josephcollins6033]

Every time I hear this man sing I feel that I will explode by the end, in a good way.

[@eleftheriadias5119]

[@pilouetmissiou]

Que c'est beau mon dieu....

[@micky9321]

suis en admiration devant sa voix et son interprétation, c'est magique .

[@calumaji1]

Qué maravillosa interpretación y expresividad la de Dimitri !! ❤️🎶

[@Phaidra69]

Besides i want to add that those users who rated this video with less than five stars , don' t know what they do and i wonder how many of them know the russian language and understand what Dmitry sings ...................A Big Thanks Dear Gabba02 for all videos you upload with Hvorostovsky . We can learn a lot from him .

[@lamsalgado]

What a fitting comment! This performance is nothing less than stunnning! Dmitri is the Fischer-Dieskau of russian lieder! As for Arkadiev, what a fabulous acompanist!!! Thanks a lot Gabbai for ths wonderful upload (BTW you have the same surname of one of my two great friends in my life!)

[@Bozse11]

Бесконечная любовь и теперь у меня болит, я слушаю слова, которые дали миру. Мои искренние соболезнования семье и всем, кто любил его, по крайней мере, я.

[@eleftheriadias5119]

Πάρα πολυ❤❤

[@dukemoose1307]

Dmitri does it best.

[@estherochagavia]

Bravisimo!

[@tyttipoikolainen8514]

Oj my love Dima

[@huhas1]

Last line is "As far off lands" This is wonderful little poem by Pushkin.

[@paulostroff99]

Superb!

[@Phaidra69]

Dear sopranoms , with all my respect to you , i am not a teacher but a soprano , like you ..if you need help in the russian repertoire , i can give it to you , since i know very well the russian classical repertoire from A - Z . i would advice you to listen to Hvorostovsky ' s recordings . This man knows very well what he does !!!! This singer writes history ......with his unrivalled way !

[@ThomasMurphy55]

Your comparison to Fischer-Dieskau is apt: both men lift lieder into the stratosphere...there is much more out there than only arias, music lovers! Dmitri H. is terrific: introduce his work to your friends....they'll be grateful...

[@smaragdavellopoulou1756]

Like me.i am forever grateful to Dmitri.

[@HermioneGranger-kt4cw]

perfectly

[@ЦыпылмаГармаева-ъ6б]

😞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@huhas1]

Don't sing to me, my belle Those sad songs of Georgia They remind me of long forgotten days, And far off lands. Alas, your harsh songs Remind me of the steppe, the dark, The dim vision of the girl. Wrapped in the quiet light of moon. When I see you, This vision disappears But when you sing It is revived again. Don't sing to me, my belle Those sad songs of Georgia They remind me of long forgotten days And fsr off lands..

[@mikedudin]

Не пой, красавица, при мне Ты песен Грузии печальной: Напоминают мне оне Другую жизнь и берег дальный. Увы! напоминают мне Твои жестокие напевы И степь, и ночь - и при луне Черты далекой, бедной девы. Я призрак милый, роковой, Тебя увидев, забываю; Но ты поешь - и предо мной Его я вновь воображаю. Не пой, красавица, при мне Ты песен Грузии печальной: Напоминают мне оне Другую жизнь и берег дальный. А.С. Пушкин

[@MarinaD-k8n]

it's due to the fact he's been under pressure from a hard traveling schedules most stars have to do. They have to make money as much as we do. Russian technique has been pretty good so far, I do not think Americans should critisize that...you are still a New World, and Europeans have been there longer.

[@Solecit00]

ohhh!! thanks n_n

[@GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

How that pianist playing the rhythms so different at the opening? He does some nice things once Dimitri starts singing.

[@loveismydestruction]

...and he's good looking too! lol

[@MarinaD-k8n]

As far as I know, all operas in Russia were supposed to be in Russian during Communist regime, so sometimes Russian singers brought up during this regime, would lack knowledge of other languages. I know that they get critisized for not singing right in other languages, though their technique in Russian is the same as Italian. As for my voice, this song is going to be in my repertoire, I don't find any good teachers able to help me with Russian songs, since I need the one who knows the language.

[@po1212Po]

Me too

[@giadafi00]

@bodiloto Un ex pugile di fama mondiale non passa certo il tempo a criticare gli artisti su youtube.non è il colore scuro a fare la bellezza e la potenza della voce e quest'aria di Rachmaninov la cantano anche i soprani lirico leggeri.Hvorostovsy è un grandissimo cantante.studia un pò prima di parlare...

[@LJBSasha]

It's not absolutely necessary to know the language, though it most certainly helps and is very strongly to be encouraged!!! The really important thing is to know each individual syllable (not to mention words!), with the exact pronunciation as well as meaning(s) - it all HAS TO MATCH. A painstaking job is a must!!! [Also of importance is whether to use the Muscovite or the - for me preferred! - St.Petersburg dialect of pronunciation.] One can learn a terrific deal from struggling with it!!

[@MarinaD-k8n]

I am from St.Petersburg, Russia and technique taught there is supposed to be the same as in the rest of Europe. But Americans think that Russian is in Asia, right?

[@SlavKulikov]

@bodiloto ты прав..ну ничё не поделать...

[@Solecit00]

What song is this? I dont understand anything about russian :S can someone tell me what the song is about? If the traduction is in spanish is better :P. I want to know because it seems to be an intense song! I really like it !

[@MarinaD-k8n]

Beautiful voice, I am Russian-born, though don't like Russian closed-box technique, I hope my former teacher doesn't read it=), she'll be mad.

[@kingjonnyvii]

where did this concert take place?

[@pianotalent]

In Russian those words have more meanings!! The Voice is Great, The Song is Great!! The Interpretation is not the way Rachmaninov meant it to be...

[@mariapap8962]

How did Rachmaninoff meant this to be interpreted?

[@MarinaD-k8n]

I have impression that non-Russians don't know the language, so they try to make "intelligent comments" to mask their lack of knowledge of Russian repertoire. If your comment were very positive, so would be mine.

[@ado3000]

A genius musician...but he never learned to connect the chest with the head raisonator...would have been a much richier voice...probably to his russian origines...

[@josephcold]

Lol i speak Russian and I still cant understand a damn word he's saying lmao...

[@MarinaD-k8n]

I think that people that don't understand Russian language should not be experts on Russian music.

[@cstubbssubs7746]

Marina Samoylovich that is close minded

[@pinkbeachloverable]

does anyone know where to get the lyrics for this song? in russian please.
