Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s extraordinary career is about much more than his glamorous image. The real story of his success starts when audiences close their eyes and listen to his dark, unmistakable baritone voice, and his broad range, incomparable legato, and breath control. Next one notices the fierce intensity and power of his interpretations and in recent years, the unmistakable elegance of maturity. The key to his brilliance is his capacity for inhabiting the music he sings. For all his stardom, Mr. Hvorostovsky may be one of the finest recitalists of our time.

“… one of the most remarkable international vocal careers of recent years. His voice is redolent of luxury: beautiful tone, pinpoint intonation and impassioned delivery.”
—The New York Times

“Genuine stars are rare in the classical music world, though Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky ranks among them. He is glamourous and audiences love him. The moment he steps on to the platform there are cheers … staggering stuff, all of it …” —The Guardian (UK)
