As Bryn Terfel said of a competition with their participation, as soon as he began singing all the baritones knew it was all over [no surprise since compared to him other baritones are mere inaudible little girl sopranos]. I'm just quoting Bryn's observations (not counting the brackets), whom I regard very highly, but there's only one Dmitri in this generation, and considering recordings, quite possibly in all of history, like J.S. Bach and composers. For western weenies who try to escape suffering let this be a lesson as to the indescribably rich fruit of the suffering of this great man born and raised in the tortures of Siberia of the USSR evil empire, due to his right manly fight without which the fruit had been green and shriveled, though his wife surely must deserve credit for his full richness as is almost universally the case, behind every great man being a great woman, even if unsung, unsullied by pride the way the unselfish love for one's spouse so enriches, something about which today's ironically merely chauvinist literally abortive feminists (both male and female versions) have not a clue in their vain arrogance versus Dmitri who is another ineffable gift of God (and his wife and kids!) almost too good to be true, his equally richness and gravitas likely unequalled in history, another testimony of couintless to the undeserved grace of God with which He ever showers us in ways great masters of the "music of the spheres" (www.cosmicharmony.com/Ha/HAmain.htm) like master J.S. Bach (if only we had a recording of his renowned voice, not so mention his mastery on the pipe organ (see www.virtuallybaroque.com/list6.htm) and apprentice Dmitri especially comprehend. <BR/>Russ, russedav@praize.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
