& m- m8 W8 @! f7 t" _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。 0 j( v ? w( Y0 L& ^/ _. Y l0 t/ q0 x3 m6 y: j! D/ Q0 x9 D1 C6 ^

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。 % ?# C* \0 F8 n2 V" l& l3 } $ F2 [5 S' r8 B( D' o* t / i" `8 u i3 W# p7 B歌劇「卡門」簡介:( k: B1 j0 L" t" L8 Y http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen1 m2 P/ r3 M5 @5 p
