About Hvorostovsky in three recordings (in Dutch)
https://basiaconfuoco.com/2017/11/22/dmitri-hvorostovsky-in-drie-opnamen/
Well-deserved, he was an extraordinary singer, gone much too soon. Fortunately his legacy is here to stay in terms of recordings. The sound of his voice is of a stunning beauty.
I am so glad. Now he will have a statue to remember him by.
Loved him and still do.
The best barytone the world.

So very very much missed. That radiant smile, at the very least, is needed more now than ever in a world filled with hatred.
A very great loss, and a fitting memorial. His father, also a singer, has the same stature and prematurely whitened hair. We were lucky to have Dimitri here often. I saw him three times: on stage in one of his last Onegins at Lyric; in recital with the outstanding Mikhael Arkadiev, who plays on seveal of his recordings; and once with Orbelian and a Russian ensemble, half in arias, half in folk-songs with folk instruments.
His two CDs of song-cycles by Gyorgy Sviridov are truly extraordinary, one called “Russia Cast Adrift” and another. I think they deserve to be much better known. Tonal, dramatic, harrowing, with a few happy songs in the mix.
