Of all people in the music world DMITRI HVOROSTOVSKY is one of the most powerful operatic baritones in recorded history. We have lost a wonderful and talented man and for him to be taken from us at such an early age is a sad loss for the entire music world. His name will live on as an operatic and concert Verdi baritone with one of the most beautiful, yet gently flowing but yet having the extreme power that is demanded of many operatic baritone roles. I only wish that he was able to have a long lasting career as the late lyric baritone Dietrich-Fischer Dieskau. What wonderful things could Dimitri have accomplished later in life, since even at the age of 55 his voice to me had even more room to fully mature.
