Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Songs & Dances of Death - Lullaby

[lyricae]

Thank you so much for this great video of a great artist.

[pudercukurs]

fantastic song and performance (who is the pianist? he is great too!) Thank you!

[LJBSasha]

Who's the accompanist, please? (Któ igrájet na rojálje, pozháluysta?) He deserves some real credit (some of the passages in the last two of those lieder are quite tricky!) as well.

Otherwise, Gospodjín Khvorostóvskiy not only has a commanding voice but what a stage presence to boot!

"Gospodjin"??? His name is Dmitri

[LJBSasha]

Dmítriy is his given name indeed. However, to go straight to 1st-name terms is a NO-NO!!!

"Gospodjín" + surname is the right form of address for a man ("Gospozhá" for a woman) when you don't know the person at all. After, when you know him (her) as a colleague or somebody older than yourself, you use the given name AND the patronymic (I don't know what was his father's given name). Using the given name - usually a diminutive thereof in fact - is done ONLY with family and close friends.

It is Ivari Ilja

Thank you very much indeed!! He deserves to be known!!!
