Overview

Following the outstanding success of his recital which opened Wigmore Hall’s 2012/13 Season, Dmitri Hvorostovsky returns with a programme sure to command the attention of connoisseurs of fine singing.

Twenty-five years have passed since the Russian baritone launched his international career as winner of the Cardiff Singer of the World Competition and made his Wigmore Hall debut.

The Washington Post recently noted that Hvorostovsky ‘stands among the era’s great singers thanks to his combination of rich tone, sonic power, thoughtful characterisation and physical appeal’, a verdict underpinned by countless five-star reviews and sold-out performances at the world’s leading opera houses and concert halls.
