Reviews February 2010
“Nearly 20 years have passed since Hvorostovsky first recorded Tchaikovsky songs...Alongside the same ineffable legato, there's still more pointing of the words and more inwardness in softer dynamics...Inevitably there's a preponderance of dark numbers; so all the more credit to this now truly great baritone for pushing the emotion with apparent sincerity and no self pity; 'To Forget so Soon' reaches remarkable dramatic heights.”

“...in terms of vocal quality there are some marvels to behold…”
