CD ReviewsThe Voice sings "best of opera" 10/06/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Being an opera-lover (meaning full opera, story and all) I was never a great fan of "arias greatest hits collections" - but this one, ah, Hvorostovsky's rich, creamy voice does it all. The Figaro makes you laugh, yet shake your head in wonder at the possibilities of the human voice (or should I say THAT human voice?); Viene Leonora just makes you hold your breath for fear of missing a note. And personally (though this is of course only MHO) I think it's a relief to hear the Italian arias without the -alas- so often encountered Italian pathos, but with pure, clear, strong emotion instead. Somebody should write this man a full one-man opera - or a concerto for baritone and orchestra..." The best baritone today. Carlos Fuentes y Espinosa | Mexico´s city, Mexico | 12/04/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I first heard russian baritone Hvorostovsky, I get shocked. Even though he was a very young man ( he was in his twenties) he owned a great, rich, enormous and beatiful voice. I can affirme he is the best opera singer today. I have listened his voice in a live stage performance, and, since that moment,I am his devoted admirer. In this record, he plays the Figaro's cavatina with elegance and funny grace. He sings correctly every single note. He perfectly knows when to cover the note. This baritone is an example of the divinity. Everything I could say about him is nothing in comparison to reality. This Cd gives to the audience a bel canto example of the big Hvorostovsky's repertoire ( what an example!). I repeat, then: The best baritone nowadays." The best Baritone in the world, period. Mathew Calewarts | VA | 12/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "OK, I know its a bold statement, but this artist has something going for him. I kid you not when I say, he has a phenomenal voice! If you know anything about classical voices then upon first hearing this man's voice you will agree that he deserves much more recognition. The power, line, and sheer beauty he possesses is unbelieveable. I know I keep going on and, but you must check Dmitri out. Forget Bryn Terfel and his breathy tone. His voice lacks the sheer vocal potency that Dmitri has. Listen to the first track on this CD, one of the most famous and vocally demanding in opera, he has it all. The track from La Favorite showcases Dmitri's ability to sing a beautiful melodic line and still retain vocal consistancy. Decca needs to pick this artist up. Enjoy, he is definitely someone to look forward to in the future."
