A remarkable artist. I studied his Salieri intensely when I was preparing my Salieri for the New York premiere of the opera in 1981 and the revival in 1982. The opera is darker in Russian than in English translation. I wished I could have done it in Russian.
There were several recordings of the opera available in 1980 when I was preparing the role. Alas, they all seemed to have disappeared now. I had a recording of the young Nevsterenko doing it.
Bass with amazing beauty of voice. Great!!!

wonderful - I've had the Reizen lp with Kozlovsky for a long time - would you have Mozart & Salieri with Gmyria?

Alas, I don't. But it would be great for his voice.
