Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dmitri Hvorostovsky was a Russian baritone from Krasnoyarsk who won the Cardiff Singer of the World competition in 1989. His voice had a natural resonance that some early critics questioned, but it became his defining characteristic. He sang roles like Don Carlo in Verdi's opera and Prince Andrei in Prokofiev's War and Peace.
His recording of 'Cortigiani, Vil Razza Dannata' from Rigoletto shows what he could do with Verdi. He also recorded Russian songs like 'Moskauer Nachte' and 'Chernoglazaya Kazachka.'
Hvorostovsky worked with conductors including Valery Gergiev, James Levine, and Antonio Pappano. He kept performing in Russia during political tensions, which drew criticism from some quarters.
