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。 4 k7 C" M6 _1 U , A- c3 e/ W4 v V/ O( G6 H6 Z9 i 9 p7 c2 r0 s9 D1 y1 N# e% u6 ADmitri 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 Q0 y: }1 [; |+ w$ C1 ] 0 l x- E/ Q- l$ W5 i- N- Y* C+ ]8 b/ ?/ f- V8 N
