Dmitri Hvorostovsky performs Russian art song in Washington DC

Raisa Massuda, 20th March

On Wednesday night Washington Performing Arts Society at the Kennedy Center hosted a Russian art song recital of the internationally acclaimed Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky and his longtime concert partner, Estonian pianist Ivari Ilya. As the audience’s excitement about seeing this renowned recitalist was building up, it was disappointing to see quite a few empty seats in the house.

Chanda VanderHart, 25th February

Die Vorstellung am vergangenen Abend, die zweite nach einer straffen Aktualisierung der Besetzung in dieser Tradition, wurde trotz der ihr anhaftenden Makel sehr positiv aufgenommen, dank des hervorragenden Gesanges.

A trio of top stars in the Royal Opera's La traviata

David Karlin, 19th April

A great deal of the audience were in the house for La traviata last night for the chance to see Diana Damrau and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. They will not have been disappointed: these were performances of the very highest quality by two very fine singers, with Francesco Demuro all but matching them.
