DonRocks Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The great Russian baritone, Dmitri Hvorotovsky, known primarily in America through his recordings of Tschaikovsky and Verdi, passed away this week after a 2 1/2-year struggle with brain cancer. The Metropolitan Opera's loving tribute to Hvorotovsky is here: "Dmitri Hvorotovsky." (Do take a few minutes and watch the videos - the second video was when Hvorotovsky only had about six more months to live.)

Mark Slater Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 He was one of the few singers I've seen and heard that I would call "exciting". He was visually arresting and vocally unbelievable. His acting in the Met DVD production of Verdi's Il Trovatore is nothing short of amazing. Here is a clip of my favorite trio in the opera: Turn up the volume .It's all beautiful, the real fun starts around 5:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
