俄國知名男中音 Dmitri Hvorostovsky 版本的 Toreador Song

wunway

Toreador Song (法語曲名 Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre) 是比才歌劇 Carmen (卡門) 第二幕的經典詠嘆調，也是一首專為男中音量身訂做的曠世佳作。這首豪情狂放的詠嘆調，旋律快意優美，是 Carmen 歌劇中的耀眼明珠，也是許多知名男中音口袋必備的曲目。

1 R" v1 V; s) l7 q7 O3 @Dmitri Hvorostovsky 是俄國近十年來舉足輕重的男中音，也是許多女性古典樂迷欣賞的聲樂家，他的聲音品質極佳，演唱風格獨特。依照 Carmen 劇本，劇中演唱此曲的鬥牛士 Escamillo 是由低音男中音 (bass baritone) 擔綱，Dmitri Hvorostovsky 則是男中音(baritone)，低音部份的表現就不會太完美。
