@frufruJ Dmitri said in an interview i have read that he admires Bastianini :-)
i don´t know why to insult H´s singing, he is great as well.

Maybe it' s just me, but we had Milnes who pretty much imitated Warren. & Now here we have Hvorostovsky imitating Bastianini:( Not a bad imitation @all. He really should sing the way he did when he won Cardiff's Singer of the world contest back in 89! There he sings much more open. It's got nothing 2 do w/him being older. Watch Bastianini's "live" performances her on Youtube & U'll C it's very similar 2 how Dmitri is singing. He's definitely channeling the man. 4 that, great job Dmitri:)

@Baritenore those were all voices with a good deal more weight.. and heft.( and I like that too). .. Dimitri hasa medium weight voice.. and as such is quite flexible and lyrical.. In other words.. while I admire the singers you mention... greatly.. I also like this dude... I see them as different.. not necessarily better/worse.

I love this guys voice..... and his looks! Wow. stunning.. Everthing is about right.. This is a very difficult aria.. the fact that he does not put an A natural at the end.. is really not to be held against.. him.. He is singing the score!

I guess when you're a "star", you don't have to pay attention to the note values!
Now everybody can hear and see the difference between the great ones (Bastianini, Mcneill, Protti, Merrill. Warren, Cappuccilli and others) and this one. This Tube is great!! you can see what is going on nowadays, and how great ones have done it in the past...For example those clips from Forza in Naples -58, Corelli and Bastianini seems like singing in playback, so easy, steady body and face posture. These guys are not in the same bussiness..unfortunately.
