  • I met him once some time ago, on a flight to Moscow, and I speak no Russian. He took my hand to shake it most graciously and he was most humble about his art which I praised having but recently been thrilled by him in I Puritani at Covent Garden. I was a nobody to him and he could not have been more gentlemanly, polite or refined. I speak as I find unless I have nothing pleasant to say, then I keep quiet.

  • Now his voice is much fuller,deeper, technically equipped with pinpoint frasing and incomparable breathcontrol. Just compare his old and new recordings(romances,arias(Verd­i espessially, but not just ), and it'll be obvious to you that the newer is mush superior.

    Take his artistic growth and superb vocal technique.

    Now this is a gorgeous baritone'in top of his form, able to sing as dramatic as lyric roles perfectly.

  • It is hard to remain simple-hearted when you have such a talent and calling. That does not excuse their behavior of course. It is always much more of a pleasure to meet an artist who has not forgotten that he is human. These arrogant artists wont make good voice instructors, because if you have that attitude, you wont Allow your students to become as good as you.

  • @lionelpower

    i agree with you. i also met him once. he had this arrogant aura all around him. he didn't even look up when i greeted him in russian. nevertheless, he is still one of the most OUTSTANDING singer in the world.

  • Dmitri is the great Russian opera singer of nowadays! Bravo Hvorostovsky!

  • Absolutely not.

  • Why is he a failure? I know you used to love him.  This isn't personal, is it?

  • Not for me.

    For me,he's a failure.

  • I have met him once. And yes. He is incredibly arrogant. But he is for me the best singer of the world right now.

  • Of course,he`s the arrogance personified....the arrogance of beauty,talent and an irresistible attraction...He`s such a souls hunter....
