Internationally acclaimed Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky won the prestigious Cardiff Singer of the World
Competition in 1989. From the start, audiences were bowled over by his cultivated voice, innate sense of musical
line and natural legato. After his Western operatic debut at the Nice Opera in Tchaikovsky’s Pique Dame, his
career exploded to take in regular engagements at the world’s major opera houses and appearances at renowned
international festivals. Program includes works by Tchaikovsky, Medtner, and Rachmaninoff.
