[RinaStrom]

Жалко, ч комменты то в основном на латинице... А ведь он наш. Илдар! Без горур!!

[rojp08]

Well done but to my ears, and eyes, Ramey still holds top honours

[chrzanowianin]

tylu escamiliów słyszałem i widziałem. ale ten wygląda i brzmi tak, jak escamilio w moich marzeniach.

I've seen and heard a lot of escamilios. but this one looks and sounds like escamilio of my dreams.

[Walkingonroses]

Ildar is splendid! As a singer and as a man...

At last, another Escamillo (besides Sam Ramey's) who has some pizzazz! Escamillo should be portrayed like a rock star. Nice going, Ildar!

@redhead529 Agree! The second Escamillo in whom I believe!

[Fegen]

I hear him sing in the live radio broadcast

from the Metropolitan Opera House in
