| Dmitri Hvorostovsky "is now a complete master of such roles as Iago, Rigoletto and Manrico, not only in the requirements of tone, pacing and dynamics but in the more complex tasks of characterization," says redludwig.com in connection with the recent recording of Verdi arias. |
| Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Karita Mattila were scheduled to be soloists with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Christoph Eschenbach at the Ravinia Festival in Illinois on Saturday night August 3, 2002, for a program of music from various operas. Karita Mattila because of illness did not appear. |
| On May 15-17, 2002, Michael Tilson Thomas led the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus in performances of Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé" and the world premiere of mystical Russian composer Giya Kancheli's "Don't Grieve," commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony. Siberian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky was the featured soloist in "Don't Grieve." |
| "[Dmitri] Hvorostovsky's voice, solid and extending easily up and down the scale, retains a sense of raw wildness beneath the sophistication of his artistry. It is, in a word, electric," wrote Anne Midgette in the New York Times of August 4, 2002. |
