7 k5 d$ Q4 v8 X, yToreador 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。

; S- x+ j0 L) ~7 UDmitri 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。

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。
