It is no doubt that Dmitri Hvorostovsky is one of the best baritone nowadays. This is he singing a Russian song in the war time. But sorry the video quality is not very good.
Bravo Billy! Great footage. I agree with Chad. We should all try to meet with him in Novoprokovskaya, do some ice-fishing, and polish off a gallon of Zubrovska. Must improve our drinking skills first
Dmitri is not a bass-baritone. His color is dark, but it does not have the weight of a bass-baritone. It does not have the weight in it either. (I tried posting this a minute ago, but it sems to not have posted.) I have heard him live at the Met opera several times and live in concert once. He is a dark lyric, not dramatic, baritone. He is one of the greats today.
