I remember watching this live… as a teenager… I think I may also have the first album of Verdi arias in the attic somewhere. The debut at the RHO as Sir Riccardo Forth was wonderful. Although, I must say it struck me then as it does now a strange part for a voice of this type to make its first appearance… this is very good… very good…

How can he hold such long and beautiful notes in a single breath? Great lungs. He is great.

I was privileged to be in the audience in1989. None of the other competitiors stood a chance. They - and we the audience - recognised immediately that a superstar had descended on us from Outer Siberia. I will never forget the impact he had on all of us. Such a voice....such stage presence.....a huge talent.

The most beautiful and technically perfect performance of these arias, i've ever heard!

And, btw, it is the peak of Hvorost's voice' physical powerfullness,in my opinion...

[eurydike]

how come he has been so good for the last 22 years:))? even here, so young. and this is still my most favourite of his renditions of these arias :)

Sublime. Da baritono quale sono, mi basterebbe avere metà della sua bravura per essere soddisfatto di me stesso. Amazing!

P.S.

Quell'ignorante che ha messo "Non mi pace" puoi anche andare buttarsi da un ponte.

Here he totally convinces me that he has sacrificed everything, including the supreme sacrifice of his own life, for the one whom he loves as his own son. In other concerts here on You Tube he has become so blaze that it is totally boring and unconvincing and leaves me cold. Amazing what a bit of fame can do to one!
