I saw Shen Yang the Chinese bass-baritone sing this in the final of Cardiff in 2007 and he was amazing. I have found the video on here sometimes but not at the moment. Does anyone have it that they can post?
I've heard many Alekos, but Nesterenko is definitely the best of them. Timbre of his bass with this ringing, bright, nearly baritonal quality plus the artistry of his interpretation makes this interpretation outstanding. Of course, can't forget about Rachmaninov. His congenial music helps digging only for the best deep in any musical soul.

Another question...
If Nesterenko is a Khonchak and Hvorostovsky an Igor, how can they both be Aleko? I mean which has to expand their range more?

oh there's 2 films? I think this one is better though

Das ist wohl etwas vom schönsten und anrührendsten, was ich je gehört habe.
Ich war schon immer ein Fan von Nesterenko, aber das ist doch wohl der Höhepunkt!
Großartig!

Nesterenko was the Aleko against which all others must be measured. Truly extraordinary.

I like shtokolov's interpretation better, but Nesterenko is more powerful I'll give you that.

@dod1808 actually, no, I agree with you. The orchestra was much better on Shtokolov's recording though.
