Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! Я счастлива тем что слушаю его в Мариинском театре, а также в филармонии и на других сценах!!!

[robmanrico]

Wonderful singing

[raythespian]

He has the notes but not the style.

[TenoreMKD]

i think it doesn´t exist souch a thing. it´s not his repertoire.

I agree with Willyum1000. I have not heard the 2000 recordings he refers to, but it is a pity that a singer with such a respiration capacity and sound capabilities, just stands there singing without acting (both with voice and face). I mean he could be singing anything; as my teacher would say "singing is the art of moving, not of astonishing"

[willyum1000]

you seem to assume verdi is all about bellowing - i wonder if anyone agrees with you? anyway, to educate you a little more about shtoda, whom i have been following since he began: listen to his 2000 cd of russian songs & then compare with his 2005 cd of russian opera arias: you will see one is poetic, sensitive & lyrical, the other..well just plain boring, particularly the lensky arioso, which demands intimate moments of hushed pianissimo. shtoda just wont or cant do that any more. very sad...

[kkm3000]

That is bullcrap! You can´t compare singing Verdi, where he must sing over an Orchestra VS singing Tchaikovsky over a pianoforte!

[sionnachy]

does anyone have a vid of him singing E Lucevan Le Stelle?

[willyum1000]

if any of you had heard shtoda's earlier cd of russian love songs, in which he sang so sensitively, so poetically & so lyrically, will be dissappointed that he has become just another 'can belto' singer who can only sing everything fortissimo...what a waste of a voice!!
