Dmitri Hvorostovsky: Interview on Future Projects - with subtitles!

[NOVOROS1]

Ну и что что Крутой не Дунаевский!?!? Зачем сопоставлять!!!!! Дунаевский -- это 20 век, а Крутой сейчас в данном проекте -- это 21 век!! и это здорово!!!

Dmitri Alexandrovich....Was/Is his father named Alexander?

[frufruJ]

Yes, he is.

[d19t85]

Cheers. I always though "ovich" at the end of a name was like the Icelandic "sson," as in Eriksson, as in "son of Eric," but there's a female character in C&C Red Alert 3 named Fedorovich. Is that bad Russian on EA's part, or have I made the wrong assumption?

BTW, there's something about the Russian language that sounds really good.

[frufruJ]

Really? Yes, you're right, EA's wrong. Female version is -ovna or -evna, e.g. Anna Yuryevna Netrebko, Irina Konstantinovna Arkhipova, Elena Vasiliyevna Obraztsova etc.

It should have been Fedorovna (or, better, as far as the pronunciation is concerned, Fyodorovna, as it's acutally Фёдор - Fyodor, not Федор, which would be "Fyedor").

[d19t85]

Didn't Hvorostovskiy and Fleming both sing in a version of Eugene Onegin together? I think it's on DVD.

[frufruJ]

Yes, but I think he's referring to the film about St.Petersburg which has just been shown on Mezzo TV.

[d19t85]

I gathered that much from the fact that he was using the future tense.

[frufruJ]

Yes, but see when it was uploaded :-)

Thanks frufruJ for this important video and for Jenni for the translation! I think really think Dmitri is still somehow tired...--Yfriend--Lu

[frufruJ]

We've been discussing this on our Russian forum. You too think he looks tired? (I can't sleep, that's why I'm replying right away :-) )

[lamsalgado]

I can´t slep too dear "J" - I "felt" he is still somehow distressed, but looks fine and certainly will recover. We are always stubborn optimistics, remember ? YF Lu

My Spanis is not so good to understand Internet shorcuts, but are you saying that you can't see the subtitles? Just wave over the little upwards arrow in the bottom right corner and click "CC" - "Closed Captions".

[frufruJ]

*Spanish. I hate typos!
