I started this channel so that I could create a Dmitri Hvorostovsky playlist. I only discovered Dmitri Hvorostovsky after he had died, because after I had been ‘out of touch’ with opera since 1987, Cardiff Singer of the World dedicated its Audience Prize in 2019 to this Dmitri guy who I had never heard of! Suddenly I wanted to hear everything I could that he ever sang! (And to not hear the slushy lounge music that he did with Krutoi, so I compiled a Deja-Vu less playlist).He was one of those bright shining meteors that occasionally burst into our sky, then burn themselves out as they descend to earth. I spent quite a bit of my life singing opera, both amateur and professional, and it is his opera credentials that first appealed to me, but there’s no denying that he was seriously easy on the eye, too!
I also have a more general opera playlist. Dima once said, “to sing you have to fly”. But in fact, to really fly, you have to sing. Singing is life.
