This one sounds like some earlier Verdi. Or is it only because of his voice?

[ClassicA111]

[Leningrad1971]

Sorry, you are not Russion's, are not it?

[Leningrad1971]

Here soldiers go

On steppe singed,

Silently sing a song

About birches and maples ,

About a thoughtful garden

And a weeping willow, About native woods, About native woods And a wide cornfield.

[Leningrad1971]

Here soldiers go -

Sonorously the song is born,

And about a terrible redoubt

In this songs is sung,

About courage in fight,

And about death for the sake of a life,

 And about the fidelity, And about the fidelity

to Our nice Fatherland.

Here soldiers go -

[Leningrad1971]

3.Here soldiers go

the Party unfamiliar, All enemies will break

And will return up to the house, Where a thoughtful garden

And a weeping willow,

Where native woods,

Where native woods

And a wide cornfield.

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.

Could anyone upload anything from this year's performances? I'd like to see something recent (besides from the Met's Eugene Onegin)Thanx!!

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

[Ankhsnammon]

Of course,Sir!And,please,don`t forget to put to hime some information...really confidential!!!!

I wish I could sit down with and drink wit him

[stchoukine]

by the range of his voice and colour he seems to me to be a bass-bariton!

Fantastic voice!
