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。 . f9 t6 H. p ?9 b- O 2 U2 ~( n( K: Q( t- k' l/ r& w3 Y+ T: e" R) o7 j9 f7 @
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。 ^1 ~& h: h0 n$ {, B# o& } " z. o9 R2 y5 ]2 G5 B7 L6 P( r
