Hvorostovsky, D.: Russian Songs - Dmitri Hvorostovsky

Album Description

Dive into the rich tapestry of Russian classical music with Dmitri Hvorostovsky's captivating album, "Russian Songs." Released on January 1, 2005, under the Delos label, this collection showcases Hvorostovsky's powerful baritone and his deep connection to his cultural heritage. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 5 minutes, the album is a testament to the timeless beauty of Russian melodies, expertly arranged by composers such as E. Stetsyuk and Y. Yakushev.

The tracklist is a journey through iconic Russian songs, from the nostalgic "Kak molody my byli" (How young we were) to the patriotic "Shchit i mech'" (The Shield and the Sword). Hvorostovsky's rendition of "Zhdi menia" (Wait for me) is particularly poignant, capturing the essence of longing and hope. The album also features lesser-known gems like "Blagodariu tebia" (I'm grateful to you) and "Ia liubliu tebia, zhizn'" (I love you, life), which highlight Hvorostovsky's versatility and emotional depth.
