I think there can be more than one amazing baritone. In my opinion, no other baritone comes close to Dmitri, but that's just my opinion. He kills at whatever repitiore he takes on, whether it be Don Giovanni or Yevgeny Onegin he is amazing.

(And he's coming to Berkley in November!!! AAAA! I'm going to go see him LIVE!)

I can't find anything interesting in Lucic: he has a good voice, good theatrcla talnts, so what? Boring as hell. Gyimka is a shaman, a magician, whatever he does, he does it by all heart.

is it possible to buy this performance somewhere on dvd ?

@al10506025 not bad, but i like Hvorostovsky and Keenlyside much more. I think Alexey Markov is good. and Andrey Bondarenko.

Russian comes from the front of the mouth. Well, the l sound comes from further back, but otherwise it's not guttural at all in my opinion.

[Ivorybird09]

Russian is not a guttural language. I know it because I am Russian and have trouble pronunciating "guttural" sounds. Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Welsh, Dutch, Spanish, German and Afrkikaans have more guttural sounds than Russian

In fact I adore Lemeshev and Kozlovsky also. Baskov is not so great, although I like him too...

[spqrmor]

babajaga, it' total bullshit! I see you know nothing about russian opera art . Revew rusian tenors:Leonid Sobinov, Ivan Kozlovsky,Sergey Lemeshev -the greatest one in Eugen Onegin, Nikolay Baskov..
