    Спасибо , Эмиль ! К Магомаеву у меня особое отношение ... подозреваю , что предвзята к остальным :)

  • Но у Хэмпсона все-таки артистичнее, хотя голоса - схожие.

  • В промежутка 3:35 - 3:45 решение - супер, автору ролика - респект :)

  • The amazing fullness, flexibility, exuberance and expressiveness of this wonderful singer's voice never fails to thrill me. Even his falsetto range is perfect - no mean feat. Rossini might have written with him in mind! Beautiful video too, Zara, I love this!

    Hugs, Emmi
