fragment of aria of Don Carlos, J. Verdi , "Hernani"
I've known that you have canceled 5 performances of "Eugene Onegin" of 10,
that must play in Chicago in the next season?
Yes.
In connection with what?
Well, because I can't cancel 10 performances.
And why did you want to cancel them?
Well, because nobody need it! That
What? "Eugene Onegin" isn't needed?!
Well, that's the same production, in which I sang with Rene Flaming.The same production in MET
which was reported in general,
it was impossible to imagine doing it better - how it was reported!
It was reported on TV Channels, on movie broadcasting.
It was shooting, it was recording on audio, on video. Well, that's enough!
But may be that people in Chicago, who has bought a ticket and come to listen,
they may be hasn't seen
There will be no Rene Flaming, there will be of the second plan.
They are not stars. That is why I'm not interested in it.
But so as I gave personal promise, well like a promise, because that all contracts in America,
they are signed for 5 years ahead! Everything you want can happen with a man during 5 years!
And no one can ever promise that in 5 years invariable you'll want to come back
to that theatre and exactly with that repertoire.
You always said that the voice must rise, it has to become matured, it must in one moment
In what moment the voice stops developing and you need just save it?
Well, now you already see, when you tasked something for yourself sometimes ago,
you said that "nevertheless I'll get it, that I'll sing "Boris Godunov".
Not now, it's early yet, but then - I will!"
Well, in general, I continue find comfort in the hope for that.
A year ago I began to learn it and began to rehearse it, yet with a coach.
But I stopped for some time.
May be, yet, if I wait for 10-20 years yet, may be, sometime I'll do it.
I'd want to do it, I itched all there, do you understand?
About the image, do you?
About the image. In that way, how I can do this.
I have wonderful news for me at least: that you record romances! I didn't know
It's time! It's already time!
"the heart asks rest"?!
How much time already, How much time I haven't recorded some good thing, like this.
It's very important, of course.
The opportunity presented.
All the more so God himself told to record Russian romances of Tchaikovsky,
or romances on Alexander Pushkin's poetry, in Russia!
You are a happy man, and you tell about it often, and you don't feel shy telling about it.
Have you left this feeling of discontent, dissatisfaction, restlessness,
or you can find yet some source for going forward in condition of comfort, rest and happiness?
Oh, my God, about what happiness, comfort can we say, if I have such profession?!
Now, at this moment, I'm in deep depression, in creative depression,
I'm very disappointed of what and how I live, of what I do, about what I create,
and in general, do I create anything at all, and whether I should even do that!
So that's very relatively.
There are some beginnings, family, private life and others.
And there is a quite a quite dreadful creative way,
covered with some ditches, mud, fog, darkness, light, blue sky, with all you want.
Imagine, everything that is in the world, - and all that I have!
That is why it's a quite grandiose, endless and rather racking way,
which for which I was destined to go.
A fragment from "Eugene Onegin"
His victory at the BBC competition in Cardiff in 1989 has become his first international triumph.
Dima Hvororstovsky has got a prize "The best voice of the world" at that time.
And soon after his London debut in prestige Wigmore Hall the review under the title
"Has came. Has sung. Has won" appeared in "The Times".
Since that time more than 20 years has passed.
But even today Dmitri Hvorostovsky seems to confirm the rightness of these words with his each.
