[Gordancho]

Who is Sancho?!?

[albicor]

excellent all around, a little "boomy" at times but still great

[nancywilken]

Internalization of the D.Q. character excellent, a very "slavic", dark-toned,tragic & deeply moving voice(you feel the death!). But there's the hurdle of the French language so believe I personally prefer Van Dam's interpretation, at the moment, that is. TX for posting!

Sublime Ghiaurov Grazie !

[Operalover77]

What a nice surprice at the end... Bravi!

[Boerenfox]

I like that, these oldfashioned wooden standards for the music sheets. Looks luch better than the cheap aluminium ones.

And of course I do agree with all comments on Maestro Ghiaurov.

:-)

[BBozhkilov]

He was the best.

[gian85bis]

Ghiaurov è stato il piu' grande basso del secolo scorso (per limitarci al secolo scorso)

[KILLERADVICE]

So great to hear such an artist, still able to sing perfectely after years and years of carreer !

[humbertogiusti1964]

Gigantesco Ghiaurov... cantar a esa edad es sorprendente, y hacerlo con calidad es sublime. Descanse en paz, Maestro.

[BernardProfitendieu]

did that guy have a mullet? in 2002!?! extraodinary!!

[boris1281]

the last big maestro! Such emotion, such voice, such ability to affect the audience - incomparable!

[Bozhkilov]

Indeed. I'm speechless. I'm in great pain for his death. So beautiful voice, incomparable.

[Orbazzano]

Emozionante Ghiaurov! La Freni a 67 anni canta che pare ancora una giovinetta! Grandissimi!!!

[seancoxen]

Extra kudos to Fedoseev. Is that Ghiaurov's wife Mirella Freni as Dulcinea?

[sfumato77]

Right, it is Mirella Freni.

[seancoxen]

Ghiuarov in his aerly 70's sounding marvelous! And Fedoseev, my favorite Russian opera conductor of the past 3-and-a-half decades!! Check out this clip's companion piece - "Song of Drunken People" for Ghiaurov-profundo.....
