Album Notes & Community Reviews

Made soon after his victory at the 1989 Cardiff Singer of the World competition, 'Russian Romances' paired the young Siberian baritone with pianist Oleg Boshniakovich for eighteen songs by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. Fanfare praised a voice full, rich, darkish and vibrant, and the disc announced Hvorostovsky to western audiences.
