  • Huh?? What are all these "he can't sing anymore" comments? Guess what? It's been 20 years since this performance. His hair is white now? Notice that? The man still sings beautifully...voices change as they age with time. Move along WITH him and stop living in the past.

  • Well, this Yeletsky and the Rodrigo just wiped everyone off the stage in Cardiff 1989. Don't think I have ever witnessed another competition performance like that. Very few of the overall winners of Cardiff have actually lived up to the promise, Karita Mattila certainly has, and I would like to think there is a niche for Dmitri, as well...

  • @tormenter012 But the incipit here is ya vas lyublyu! Syntax is very flexible in russian :)

  • @yourehavingalarf Indeed his voice isn't the biggest, but he projects it better than most singers could. Absolutely amazing.

  • @brolobear he sings better :))) now

  • @brolobear he is better and better :))

  • and to think, this year, 1989, Cardiff Singer of the World has both Hvorostovsky AND Bryn Terfel!

  • @tormenter012 It's phonetically right... so yeah... maybe both right me thinks :)

  • Spelled the title completely wrong, but still, good video.

    "Ya vas Lublu" (supposed to be Ya lublu vas)

    means I love you in russian :)

  • Magnificent singing. I understand his voice isn't one of the biggest, but with this amount of polish and precision, who cares?

    I would be a bit worried about all those wide open E flats, but it seems to work for him.

    Some wonderful playing there from the orchestra too. Bravo all round.

  • i like to imagine Bruce Dickenson and Dave Murray listening to this while writing their own songs. that makes me happy.
