two of the most celebrated basses in the operatic world, both originally from Bulgaria. They sing the famous Gremin's aria from Tchaikovsky's opera "Eugene Onegin ". Who wins the face-off?

  • Ha-Ha !

  • He is Bulgarian from Plovdiv .

    Macedonians are also Bulgarians , at list they speak our language - Bulgarian !

  • Boris Christoff !

  • Boris Christoff! The Greatest!

  • Be happy that you live in an era when you can hear recordings of these great singers and others.

    This is not a contest of Miss World, each has his own virtues. And I am happy to be able to listen to these great colleagues.

  • Ghiaurov!!!!!!!!! 

  • I adore them both. Boris is usually more artistic with his studio recording voice, with restraint and deep emotion, letting the natural thimble of his powerful colouration to impress. Ghiaurov has open voluminous voice, natural with less restraint. I agree Ghiaurov gave more colouration and his high notes are more impressive. In this role the singer is to be in content of his love life in a self expression, Boris interpretation is more appropriate, normally I prefer Chiaurov in other roles.

  • why compare? (- a very strange idea)

    both are great.

  • Boris Christoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • Christoff très fin artistiquement,très bien retranscrit.Musicalement:Quasi­-idéal.Les graves finals sont écrasés.

    Ghiaurov beaucoup moins artiste,peu inspiré,pâlichon tant au niveau du timbre que de l'interprétation mais graves bien mieux assis.
