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。 ' H1 r7 f. U# J( z' L1 u& o 1 C$ t. b! }' I. F u' c9 o& y7 a5 z8 J: m
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。 ! D/ s5 A; L8 }* g# { 7 U V$ J( P6 i2 w- n- r2 g/ {# Q0 H7 b4 w

Nicolai Ghiaurov 的音域較廣,從 bass 到 bass baritone 都可以勝任,所以可以完美詮釋這首 Toreador Song。 " K Q1 K' n) X& [1 [- s/ g3 s! q, s4 e1 o
