Greatest baritone ever. But also one of the greatest performers who made his singing come alive. You just felt every note in your soul. Watching this interview confirmed it all. Such a beautiful soul! And also he was one of the most handsome and charismatic man ever. Such a loss for this world.
Dmitri may have been "strong as a Russian bear", but he was also sensitive and vulnerable. He showed us that full range of emotions through his art. We've seen him as the world famous, great baritone on stage, or laughing and having fun off stage, but also with tears in his eyes. A true artist, and a master in his field.
As well as being a wonderful singer Dmitri has shown us foreigners how wonderful the Russian people are they Laugh Joke and sing as well as being strong I really admire them, we always were told in the war how strong they are so true,I send my good wishes to them, such a sad loss to lose Dmitri so young
one of them most attractive men out there....love his personality, professional ethics and got a chance to have a short conversation. he's such a gentlemen with lovely family.
If you watch his performance at the Cardiff Singer of the World contest when he was in his 20's, his supreme confidence and assurity on stage is unbelievable! It's just as he says in this interview when he indicates he was very confident as a singer in his youth.
В любом уголке планеты ; самый обоятельный ,самый красивый , самый умный ....самый , самый ! И никто другой ! Вечная светлая память ... Мы помним ! Мы гордимся ....! Мы скорбим ....
Was a joy to hear him sing live, that velvet baritone, one for the ages! First time i heard Dmitry was in Wienstaatsoper in Onegin, about 12 years ago and my sister and I were absolutely blown away, then as Rigoletto in Royal Opera House, Simone Bocanegra, then Don Carlo also, wonderful, wonderful voice, so so missed on opera scene today.
BIG, BIG, BIG THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL INTERVIEW !!! THE WONDERFUL BARITONE DMITRY IS VERY, VERY INTERESTING PERSONALITY !!! I LOVE THIS BARITONE ENDLESS !!! GOD BLESS YOU DEAR DMITRY !!! GOD BLESS YOUR FANTASTIC TALENT !!! GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY !!! ALWAYS WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND LIGHT FROM SOFIA - BULGARIA
Yes, Dmitry Hvorostovsky remaine The Best Barytone VOICE of The Opera forever! Magnificent Artist, Great Talent, Handsome and Sweet, a Real Russian Prince! 🌸💜🤍🤍🤍
Dmitri Hvorostovsky to me, comes across as a person full of humility. If some people perceive him differently it is probably because Dmitri is mentally different from other individuals. We all are. Also as an artist of the highest caliber, Dmitri has to put up with a lot of envy and jealousy. This he has to process within and go no. Also life hardens all of us in some way or the other.To me Dmitri is the most precious gift from heavens to the humankind.
Dmitri was a genius. Rather than thank the Universe for living next to a genius, people envied him. He was magical. He was a rare human. He was precious. He was a walking, unblemished perfection.
Listening to this, as a singer myself, I think what you are hearing is that focus on the voice as an independent entity that singers often have - The Voice is a gift, it can dominate your psyche - when it isn’t right, the world is dark, when it is in the zone, the force is with you! But always, it leads you, not you it. And if you have, as he had, a phenomenal instrument (and he talks of it not only as if it were an entity, but as an instrument), you live to serve it. He definitely in this and other interviews has this sense of being driven by the need to develop and promote that extraordinary gift. Sure, people differ in their taste in voices, but I think you would have to have cloth ears to not recognize that this is one of the great voices, whether you think it’s “ingolata” or “bel canto”, - whatever you think it is - it is outstanding - and it was also coupled with extraordinary physical beauty. Yes, he can be arrogant, but he can also laugh at himself and be honest about his mistakes in some of the published interviews he has given. Almost every interview he gives whether on video or in print, his focus is on The Voice, the destiny of The Voice, his duty to The Voice. He is is also driven by a strange prescience that his time might be short (yes he refers to this often) and that he feels he should always challenge himself. The Voice is a harsh master, and Hvorostovsky was completely dedicated to the service of that master. So no time or room for false modesty - why deny the obvious - just work, work work and not hide your light under a bushel! See this interview th-cam.com/video/xhf4feX_H_4/w-d-xo.html
Great comment. I can tell you feel and understand the depth of what you're saying. I agree with it. Just watched the interview you shared. It's incredible he said that in the end of it. He was probably so in synch with a force from beyond, maybe from being in touch with the force of music all of his life. Thank you for sharing the interview. Appreciated watching it.
@@heidiboesz1017 Ich kann auch so gar keine Arroganz feststellen! I would rather call it selfawareness through his lifelong deep connection to the power of music and his art of expressing it through the gift of his extraordinary voice and modest personality! I myself could imagine only a breeze of all of it and remain fully in aw....
You are right! The person who were so bitterly critical (an egg in his throat!😡)might be envious. You can always comment something about a voice, without being so hard.... I loved the Sibelius (a great author) quotation ❤️👏👏👏
I’ve tried to be a tenor my whole life because I never liked the sound of the baritone voice.....until I started to really listen to Maestro Hvorostovsky. Of course, I was never a tenor and. now, at age 47 and long past the age where I might have had a career, I can embrace being a true lyric Baritone without feeling like I’m less of a singer because my voice can’t reach those “money” notes. This is his gift to me. Spasiba, Maestro!
What silly hearings these poor people who only learn six or so languages get from those of us who usually speak one rather poorly This was a fine, well behaved enjoyable performer. Bless his memory and the gifts he left for us.
Confidence...ego...That's what it's all about....the strong nerves you need to fully concentrate and be in the zone. Either that or amazing self-control and inner peace. Everyone's got to find their own way...if they can.

Please do not confuse lack of modesty with arrogance and/or self assurance. This man was 'larger than life'. Everything he did and achieved is to this day, awe inspiring. I would like to believe this man was as strong as - or actually was, the proverbial - Russian bear. That makes his passing so much harder to believe and understand. For the life of me I can not understand why, this 'Mensch' in particular, had to be taken away from us at such a young age by such an ugly and unforgiving disease. Let us refrain from judging - or God forbid, criticize - this great and never to be forgotten man, in life and in death.
Leo Simons oh! Many thanks! I agree. The lost of this great great human being is hard to understand. Those who are bitter critics must be simply envious 😹
Thank you for all the interview you both made. In time, interview like this reminds me that, when there's a chance, do it, as we might not know when will be too late or next time to come. I am grateful and lucky to be able to know more about his journey of music and life wisdom even though he has moved on to his next soul journey. May all the interviews which were being recorded and kept in this timeless cyber world continue to preserve the knowledge and wisdom for more to see and to experience. Much thanks, James Long of Malaysia

Pius Twelvetrees just listened to his first interview in English, what a difference! He always emphasised he was working hard,but his talent lay in every field obviously.
I definitely take his "perfect instrument" comment differently than others. He does NOT say that he has the perfect voice, but that his instrument is perfect. That implies to me his confidence in mastery of vocal technique. There is no perfect voice. I think we ought to listen to what people say specifically.
+Tyler Norris That was my interpretation as well. In response to a question asking him if he preferred singing in high registers,, he responded that his voice was a perfect instrument; ie he has enough technical ability that he's comfortable singing low or high, and he doesn't recognize any gaps in his range. I don't see that as immodest, really, just sort of a statement about his comfort with his technical ability.
And in fairness, the guy *IS* an internationally famous opera star, with tons of chops and training. I think he's earned the right to claim technical mastery. Maybe he could have done it in a more tactful way in this interview, but I don't see this as bragging. He's not saying he's better than anyone or everyone else, just that he doesn't perceive technical limitations.
Yeah, really so, fully agree with you. They're just discussing the qualities of voice, changes throughout the years and gradual working. And that what Dmitriy meant as far as I've caught.
No one would have batted an eyelid had he been a violinist or a pianist who said his instrument is perfect! A virtuoso violinist sounds much better on a Stradivarius rather than a 50 quid student violin from the second hand shop. The same goes for a pianist on a Steinway as opposed to an old pub upright. If the Instrument is a Great one (perfect) then it is easier to produce good sounds high and low. So it goes for a singer. The singer’s instrument is the physical tackle he uses to produce the sound. Some of that is a gift you’re born with but much of it is hard work keeping it in shape, taking care of it, exercising it etc (so much more effort than calling out your piano tuner). It is also a known fact that a well oiled well exercised voice will be able to go higher. And from the way Dimitri sang right through to his final months, he HAD taken care of his instrument. It was perfect. He wasn’t being arrogant. He was simply telling the truth - because his instrument was perfect, he was able to do things with his voice that might otherwise have proved difficult. All of this is pointless because he was beautiful inside and out, his voice was powerful, divine yet he could tone it right down so as not to overpower another’s voice....and the universe in its wisdom snatched him away before he deserved to go 😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔
That is the reason why so many Russians don't like to give interview in English because they have to think really hard what to say in English since not everything is parallel translation and then they get critiqued for what they said. I watched him in many Russian interviews and there was nothing arrogant about him.
Arogance a víra v sebe jsou dvě naprosto odlišné věci. Arogantní je člověk, který nic neumí nebo jen velmi málo, ale myslí si o sobě velmi mnoho. D.H. věřil v sebe a uměl a znal toho tolik, že o sobě vlastně hovořil velmi skromně.
Tatyana Linsky You are absolutely correct. His interviews in his mother's tongue are full of warmth, so inherent to his persona. He was a dream of a human being. A magnificent artist. He was this rare person that brought pure joy to the world .
¡¡ME GUSTARÍA SABER QUÉ SE DICE EN LA INTERVIU...PERO ESCUCHAR TÚ BELLA VOZ Y VERTE RESPONDER ME HACE BIEN Y OLVIDO QUÉ PARTISTE!! SIEMPRE ESTARÁS EN MÍ RECUERDO Y EN MÍ CORAZÓN!!🇷🇺🌹🔔🌺🌻💕🕊🎵🎤❤🍀🌼🌷⚘⚘⚘28/06/2024 🎼🇦🇷
Being a world wide opera star Khvorostovski didn't refuse singing in front of ordinary people in the street concerts. First (and the last time) I saw him in the street concert dedicated to the V-Day. He sing "Katusha". Usually only easy performers perform this street (square) concert, so I was really impressed to see Khvorostovski singing there. It was 2015, two years before he gone. Perhaps (definitely) he felt his end and acting like last time. He could not do another way.
I always find it amusing to read/hear comments concerning how well a non-native English speaker has mastered English. For the record, there are 743 million non-native speakers in the world who speak English as their second language or roughly twice the population of the USA. I suspect that many of them speak English flawlessly. As far as how fluent a non-native English speaker is concerned, there are numerous factors that determine how easy it is to learn any foreign language including English. Furthermore, how difficult a person finds learning another language varies from individual to individual. In conclusion, unless you are an experienced linguist specializing in learning a foreign language, it is best to abstain from making uninformed comments about how well a person speaks English or any another language other than his/her own. The same applies even if you yourself are fluent in another language other than your mother tongue.
He had a very interesting accent. His English was obviously amazing but his accent doesn’t even sound very Russian. It almost sounds like it had a hint of Central Europe. Maybe having sung in many languages has heavily influenced his accent.
I'm not an admirer of communist or authoritarian systems in general but the USSR has to be acknowledged that its education system was quite remarkable. To think that both he and Nureyev, for example, were able to study opera and classical ballet in their somewhat remote places of origin, is not common in other countries. Very sad he passed away.

These two interviews are priceless with thoughtful questions and Dima’s insightful answers. I could listen for hours🌹🌹
He was so gifted and I miss his stage presence at the MetOpera. The world lost a great baritone of the level of tenor Pavarotti.
thank GOD i got to hear him talk in english.

How fortunate you were!
È stato un grande in ogni cosa che ha fatto perché ci ha messo amore e passione e poi era una persona buona era una splendida creatura
He knew who and what he was, no doubts. Confident in who he was and what he needed to do. What a great role model!
God rest him . He is been missed badly in the opera world.. If we all had a fraction of his confidence we would be a lot better as people...

Of course I agree with Giga Grant ,that,s why I named (unigue treasure)

Dmitri was a genius. Rather than thank the Universe for living next to a genius, people envied him. He was magical. He was a rare human. He was precious. He was a walking, unblemished perfection.
He was very fortunate to have been born into a musical family that supported his talent.

That is the reason why so many Russians don't like to give interview in English because they have to think really hard what to say in English since not everything is parallel translation and then they get critiqued for what they said. I watched him in many Russian interviews and there was nothing arrogant about him.
If this is arrogance then it's not a bad type of arrogance. In this form we all get something.
With regard to the word "perfect", I think it is perfectly awful that we have lost this greatly talented man. TH-cam gives witness to his perfection!
Tatyana Linsky Agree! Thanks!❤️
Arogance a víra v sebe jsou dvě naprosto odlišné věci. Arogantní je člověk, který nic neumí nebo jen velmi málo, ale myslí si o sobě velmi mnoho. D.H. věřil v sebe a uměl a znal toho tolik, že o sobě vlastně hovořil velmi skromně.
Tatyana Linsky You are absolutely correct. His interviews in his mother's tongue are full of warmth, so inherent to his persona. He was a dream of a human being. A magnificent artist. He was this rare person that brought pure joy to the world .
magnifique merveilleux le reve merci de rediffuser ces splendides interviews ti liblia lioubliou Dimitri

His English is quite good! RIP man...
Умничка.
Bozanstven , Dmitrij Aleksandrovic!!!!
A very fine singer and musician. I usually prefer Gerald Finley, but Dmitri is more suited to the higher baritone rep. Both fantastic baritones.
divan covek, veliki covek , hvala mu *
Well if his voice isn't the perfect instrument then it's as close as a perfect instrument can get
yes and it is admireable
Being a world wide opera star Khvorostovski didn't refuse singing in front of ordinary people in the street concerts. First (and the last time) I saw him in the street concert dedicated to the V-Day. He sing "Katusha". Usually only easy performers perform this street (square) concert, so I was really impressed to see Khvorostovski singing there. It was 2015, two years before he gone. Perhaps (definitely) he felt his end and acting like last time. He could not do another way.
I always find it amusing to read/hear comments concerning how well a non-native English speaker has mastered English. For the record, there are 743 million non-native speakers in the world who speak English as their second language or roughly twice the population of the USA. I suspect that many of them speak English flawlessly. As far as how fluent a non-native English speaker is concerned, there are numerous factors that determine how easy it is to learn any foreign language including English. Furthermore, how difficult a person finds learning another language varies from individual to individual. In conclusion, unless you are an experienced linguist specializing in learning a foreign language, it is best to abstain from making uninformed comments about how well a person speaks English or any another language other than his/her own. The same applies even if you yourself are fluent in another language other than your mother tongue.
He lived in London!!!
He doesn't say he is perfect, says his voice is, and what the hell, maybe he is right. Terrific voices need terrific egos to drive them, sometimes.
William Caron 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He had a very interesting accent. His English was obviously amazing but his accent doesn’t even sound very Russian. It almost sounds like it had a hint of Central Europe. Maybe having sung in many languages has heavily influenced his accent.
Self belief sustains a lot of people in their chosen careers don't knock it!
Hermoso en todo
Russian's strongest dramatic baritone voices ever lived on this earth.
Serian tan amables de traducir al español la entrevista para disfrutarla completa, muchss gracias sinceramamente, saludos desde CD. De Mexico !!! ❤❤❤
Rest in peace.
My voice is a perfect instrument!! Wow
I'm not an admirer of communist or authoritarian systems in general but the USSR has to be acknowledged that its education system was quite remarkable. To think that both he and Nureyev, for example, were able to study opera and classical ballet in their somewhat remote places of origin, is not common in other countries. Very sad he passed away.
