Wonderful, soulful interpretations
I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. The voices blend in a rich tapestry of soul.
The passion and the intricate balance of the Russians is beautifully presented.
Russian songs
The CD was delivered in a very timely fashion. Thanks so much as it was a New Year's gift.
Excellent interpretation
Again I emphasize the strong and very good voice of Dmitri and his perfect interpretations
Very enjoyable.
This CD shows Dmitri Hvorostovsky's extraordinary wide range of singing abilities. Although it is Russian folk songs, the CD content is more sophisticated than what might be termed "rough country folk dances". Much of it is very melodic going from playful pieces to more somber ones. The St. Petersburg Chamber Choir adds much to the enjoyment of the listener.
Delighful Hvorostovsy
I heard the CD Kalinka. I've never stopped admiring this wonderful Russian bsritone. I went to his concerto here in Mexico, several months ago. I was in Heaven
The songs are chosen with care and love, and it reminds me always of my so wonderful stay in Russia (3 years). This really is from "Russia with love". The thrilling voice of Hvorostovsky gives me the chills and makes me dream. Thanks for a wonderful and delightful record.
This Cd is not the "academic" version of the Red Army, pleasant as well. This is fresh, bucolic and belongs to the people that are in the enourmous fields of corn in Russia and Ukraine. It is naive, with the beauty of naivite.
Hvorostovky is versatile and in the songs que needs to be sweet, plassionate or melancholic he achieves it masterly!!!!!
