I love this video. It is the only one I have viewed that Dimitri speaks English. So handsome, intelligent, passionate and his lush voice speaks to my soul. Great loss to music arts. RIP
Генеален, Божественно Красив, Благороден, Он навсегда останется в музыке и искусстве Идеалом, к которому будут стремиться вечно !!!!!!! Браво, Хворостовский !!!!! Спасибо за эту превосходную !!!
Prokofiev has been sadly neglected in the West. Some of his compositions are a bit too thorny for audiences who jump to the term "modern music" like an honorary 4 letter word. Dmitri mentioned his ballet Romeo and Juliet, which I discovered at age 10 in the Baryshnikov movie The Turning Point. That score would've been admired by Both Tchaikovsky And Rachmaninoff- very lush and romantic in depicting the love of the title characters. Not too long after I rented the VHS "Alexander Nevsky"--and absolute powerhouse both in Prokofiev's score and the legendary direction of Sergei Eisenstein. The Battle on the lake covered with ice- and then during the fighting...the ice on the lake starts to break apart. Terrifying! The score became available on CD in the 90s and I snatched it up! And yes, this is the first time I've heard Hvorostovsky speak English. Just one more dimension to an already overwhelming presence.
@TheDmitrilover i subscribed to metplayer a few months ago, there is nothing, but i will check it one more time. there is only Onegin and Queen of Spades, as video, and then Don Carlo, Traviata, Queen of SPades, Faust , Trovatore , maybe something more, i dont remember, as audio. but not war and peace, but i will look there again.
@TheDmitrilover i dont speak about hair. i speak of Dmitri´s smiles or grins, expressions of face. hair could be changed, but his smiles , these constantly remind me of Rickman. the expressive eyes, mouth as well.
@Ettoredipugnar it is something else. you can find info on the Metropolitan opera web. you for example pay 15 USD a month and can (without limits) watch (and listen to) the whole month to hundreds of videos and audios on a part of the MET web , called Metplayer.
@TheDmitrilover i have both watched so many times , that i know it is true:) but i am glad you say it, people dont usually want to believe me this:), i mean that Dmitri and Alan look quite similar. when Alan was about Dmitri´s age i mean.
@TheDmitrilover i am constantly looking for recordings of Dmitri and I would have had to see somewhere that somebody sells such a DVD:-(((( If they did, i would buy it immediately.
We didn’t really appreciated his music and we prefer to be ignorant about such excellent singer of a good classic music- I never knew either about him in the Rose show- not enough advertisement.
@TheDmitrilover you find them under:rickman close my eyes. or you have to put the w´s to each other, i couldnt post in comments the whole links.try it.
@TheDmitrilover he didnt play only Snape, he has better roles and is said to be a great theatre actor. not only snape. you should see him in Close my eyes, that is the right age of Alan to compare Dmitri´s and Alan´s looks.
Que maravilla de voz y de físico
Какой же Дима красивый, изумительный, солнечный. Гениальный и очаровательный человек и Артист. Очень скучаем, любим, помним.

There are some others where he talks in English. Have a look on Vimeo xx
I have one on my playlist called the interview.
This took place on February 14 2002 when the premiere of War and peace took place at the Metropolitan Opera.
He left us too soon. We should pay more attention about artist like this one. OMG,!i miss your beautiful and unique voice so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic person and bariton
Генеален, Божественно Красив, Благороден, Он навсегда останется в музыке и искусстве Идеалом, к которому будут стремиться вечно !!!!!!!
Браво, Хворостовский !!!!!

What an amazing discussion and some very important comments that would stand up well today. I haven’t seen this opera but would love to xx
Dmitri Hvorostovsk magnífico
Молодой, талантливейший - сколько счастья и радости нес он любям своим трудом и гением !!! Сколько красоты !!!!! Браво, Дмитрий !!!
His Voice and presence are impressive, his english already so good. He does NOT Look like Alan Rickman... Actually nobody else than himself.

DMITRI MEDENI KAO DEVOJKA, LEP PRELEP BRAVO*

Dmitrij , Angel, Genij, Drug!!!!
Charlie Rose missed the unique opportunity to hear all Dimitri could have shared. He was do respectful and proper.
There are no wordsthe world has lost a genius.

The subtitles in English of the speakers spoken English is just hilarious.
they should sell a video from this opera. why dont they?

never knew dima was on charlie rose!
@eurydike There is only an extract from the ball on YT! Look for it, it is lovely! :)
very interesting
So sad the sound quality is low.

@eurydike Dima or Charlie Rose? If Dima I don't think so...the hair makes them completely different, the interviewer I can agree! LOL :D
Pero a quien entrevistan??? Dima habla poco
@eurydike I don't know...maybe in the Met Shop there is...
@HEZSOZE Szivesen :) Remèltem hogy ertetted angolul!
@eurydike :( Why not? :( :( It was so a wonderful performance!
I did not write comment below
@eurydike I can't see this videos :(
Два лица, два портрета...Вспоминается Гамлет с портретами Отца и Клавдия.
Простите за ошибку.
@eurydike Well, thinking about it you're right...I just watched a Rickman video and it is as you say! :)
How old was Dmitri in this interview?
@eurydike ok! :) I know him only as Snape...
there is no War and Peace on Metplayer:-(
@eurydike well, me too! :) Try to look online in the Met Player...but you have to pay to watch something...
@TheDmitrilover you would have to see younger Alan to understand, not as Snape, but in Sense and Sensibility perhaps.
Alàni chi?
@eurydike Metplayer ? I have the met chanel on sirius ??
@TheDmitrilover he didnt play only Snape, he has better roles and is said to be a great theatre actor. not only snape. you should see him in Close my eyes, that is the right age of Alan to compare Dmitri´s and Alan´s looks.
don´t say he doesnt look sometimes like Alan Rickman.
@eurydike :(
