THRILLING is the only word that applies! His voice is heaven on earth....you can have all the tenors you want: give me a great baritone like Hvorostovsky!

[MikrosBeethoven]

notice the eyebrowes in 1st "l'amour l'amour". Kinky......

@BassHaritone Actually, your "marketing of a sexy guy" remark would be more applicable to Abdrazakov than to Hvorostovsky.

At any rate, Sam Ramey was better than either of them.

I touch myself at nights with this.

I liked his voice....it is powerfull...nice....but it has some arias that must be singing with the righ accent, "pour les liesons", like that one.

But he is a nice singer...in a russian style, and from a russian school.

Totaly diferent from the italian one (my favorite)

thanks, wonderfull!!

[BassHaritone]

He has numerous errors not only in his french diction, but also sings the wrong words altogether at times. He also ignores the accidentals in the cadences of both verses (the "D" natural). I have not heard him in a small house but I did see him at the Met in Giovanni....it was a puny sound. The Masetto was a larger sound. Mr. Hvorostovsky is all about the marketing of a sexy guy.

Check out Ildar Abdrazakov or Željko Lučić to hear what a real Baritone ought to sound like.

Toreador, en garde, Toreador, Toreador!

Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant

Qu'un oeil noir te regarde,

Et que l'amour t'attend,

Toreador, L'amour t'attend!

[NgiMandla]

This man has HUGE balls.
