NEW YORK, NY – On August 12, 2016 Delos releases "Dmitri Hvorostovsky Sings of Love, Peace, War and Sorrow" [DE 3517], a new recording featuring the internationally acclaimed baritone performing opera arias and scenes by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Anton Rubinstein – two of which Hvorostovsky has never before performed on stage: Tomsky from "The Queen of Spades" and the title role of "Mazeppa."
Led by conductor Constantine Orbelian with the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia “Evgeny Svetlanov,” as well as the Helikon Opera Choir, the recording also features several guest artists: internationally acclaimed Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian (the latest recipient of the prestigious International Opera Award as Young Female Singer of 2016), mezzo-soprano Irina Shishkova; bass Mikhail Guzhov, tenor Igor Morozov, and countertenor Vadim Volkov.
The recording begins with the opening scene from Prokofiev’s "War and Peace" with sopranos Asmik Grigorian and Irina Shishkova. The program continues with four arias from three beloved Tchaikovsky operas: 'Mazeppa’s aria' (“O Mariya, Mariya”) from "Mazeppa;" 'Roberto’s aria' (“Kto mozhet sravnitsja s Matildoj moej”) from the composer’s final opera "Iolanta" – plus two selections from "The Queen of Spades," including 'Tomsky’s balla'd ("Odnazdy v Versale, au jeu de la Reine”) with Mikhail Guzhov (Surin), and Igor Morozov (Chekalinsky); and Tomsky’s song ("Yesli b milyye devitzy"). The latter two arias from Tchaikovsky mark a departure for Hvorostovsky. For years he was known for his performances of Prince Eletsky in "The Queen of Spades" – but in this recording, he takes on the other baritone role, that of the conniving and coldhearted Count Tomsky. The album’s closing selection is the sixth and final scene from Anton Rubinstein’s rarity, "The Demon." Hvorostovsky had long wanted to perform the opera’s title role, and finally got the chance to do so in 2015, in a semi-staged Moscow production co-starring soprano Asmik Gregorian as Tamara – an event that was broadcast live on Russian television.
Until recently, Russian operas have been relatively underrepresented on the world stage, except for a few of the best-known titles. Clearly, this has been slowly changing, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky has done much to foster the trend, having returned to his Russian roots and become a tireless champion of his nation’s wealth of operatic literature. In a 2012 Opera News feature, Hvorostovsky commented that in future years he would start to take on some of the “bulkier Russian roles,” and that he wanted to become an ambassador for this repertoire. Between Hvorostovsky’s sold-out concerts and opera performances, he recently released a studio recording of Verdi’s "Simon Boccanegra" [DE 3475, 2015] to rave reviews. He has further honored his homeland’s cultural traditions with three critically acclaimed recordings featuring popular Russian songs written during World War II and its aftermath: "Wait for Me" [DE 3475, 2015]; "Where are you, My Brothers?" [DE 3315, 2003]; and "Moscow Nights" [DE 3339, 2005].

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Internationally acclaimed Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky was born and studied in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. In 1989, he won the prestigious BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. From the start, audiences were bowled over by his cultivated voice, innate sense of musical line and natural legato. After his Western operatic debut at the Nice Opera in Tchaikovsky’s "Pique Dame," his career exploded to take in regular engagements at the world’s major opera houses and appearances at renowned international festivals, including Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Paris Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Salzburg Festival, La Scala Milan, Vienna State Opera and Chicago Lyric Opera.
A celebrated recitalist in demand in every corner of the globe – from the Far East to the Middle East, from Australia to South America – Dmitri has appeared at such venues as Wigmore Hall, London; Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh; Carnegie Hall, New York; the Teatro alla Scala, Milan; the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire, Moscow; the Liceu, Barcelona; the Suntory Hall, Tokyo; and the Musikverein, Vienna. The singer performs in concert with top orchestras like the New York Philharmonic and the Rotterdam Philharmonic; and conductors, to include James Levine, Bernard Haitink, Claudio Abbado, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Yuri Termikanov and Valery Gergiev.
Dmitri retains a strong musical and personal contact with Russia. He became the first opera singer to give a solo concert with orchestra and chorus on Red Square in Moscow; this concert was televised in over 25 countries. Dmitri has gone on to sing a number of prestigious concerts in Moscow as a part of his own special series, ‘Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Friends’. He has invited such celebrated artists as Renée Fleming, Barbara Frittoli, Sumi Jo, Sondra Radvanovsky, Jonas Kaufmann, Marcello Giordani and Askar Abdrazakov. In 2005 he and conductor Constantine Orbelian gave an historic tour throughout the cities of Russia at the invitation of President Putin, singing to crowds of hundreds of thousands of people to commemorate the soldiers of the Second World War.
Dmitri’s extensive discography spans recitals and complete operas. He has also starred in "Don Giovanni Unmasked," an award-winning film (by Rhombus Media) based on the Mozart opera, tackling the dual roles of Don Giovanni and Leporello. Recently Dmitri has established a new collaboration with the Russian popular composer Igor Krutoi, with very successful concerts in Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev and New York.
Recent CD recordings include "In This Moonlit Night" (lieder by Tchaikovsky. Mussorgsky & Taneyev); "Rachmaninov Romances" (both with pianist Ivari Ilja); a choral recording "The Bells of Dawn" (Russian Sacred and Folk Songs); a DVD starring Dmitri alongside Renee Fleming in a film set in St Petersburg and the DVD recordings "Live from Red Square Moscow" with Anna Netrebko as well as "Il Trovatore" from the Metropolitan Opera. With conductor Constantine Orbelian, he has also recorded "Verdi Arias, Heroes and Villains" (mixed arias), "Verdi Opera Scenes" (with soprano Sondra Radvanovsky), "Wait for Me" – a collection of Russian wartime songs – and the DVD, "Hvorostovsky in Moscow"; all have met with much critical acclaim.
For over 20 years, Grammy-nominated conductor Constantine Orbelian, the brilliant American pianist/conductor, has been a central figure in Russia’s musical life – first as Music Director of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and the Philharmonia of Russia, and more recently as guest conductor with a number of illustrious Russian orchestras. Currently Chief Conductor of the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra in Lithuania, Orbelian leads concerts and recordings there with some of the world’s greatest singers, in projects such as a recording of "Simon Boccanegra," with Dmitri Hvorostovsky in the title role. In June of 2016, Orbelian was named artistic director of Armenia’s National Academic Opera and Ballet in Yerevan.
Opera News calls Orbelian “the singer’s dream collaborator,” and commented that he conducts vocal repertoire “with the sensitivity of a lieder pianist.” The California-based conductor tours and records with American stars such as Sondra Radvanovsky and Lawrence Brownlee, as well as with Hvorostovsky and other renowned Russian singers in European, North American, and Russian music centers, extending these splendid collaborations to tours in Japan, Korea, and beyond.
Orbelian’s frequent collaborations with Hvorostovsky include repertoire from their Delos recordings of universal sentimental songs "Where Are You, My Brothers?" and "Moscow Nights," as well as their 2015 recording in the same series, "Wait for Me." On several occasions Orbelian has conducted historic live telecasts from Moscow’s Red Square, the most recent of which took place in 2013, with Hvorostovsky and Anna Netrebko. Among his concert and televised appearances are collaborations with stars Renée Fleming and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and with Van Cliburn in Cliburn’s sentimental return to Moscow, the great pianist’s last performance.
Born in San Francisco to Russian and Armenian emigré parents, Constantine Orbelian made his debut as a piano prodigy with the San Francisco Symphony at the age of 11. After graduating from Juilliard in New York, he embarked on a career as a piano virtuoso that included appearances with major symphony orchestras throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Russia. His recording of the Khachaturian piano concerto with conductor Neeme Järvi won Best Concerto Recording of the Year award in the United Kingdom.
Orbelian’s appointment in 1991 as Music Director of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra was a breakthrough event: he is the first American ever to become music director of an ensemble in Russia. A tireless champion of Russian-American cultural exchange and international ambassadorship through his worldwide tours, he was awarded the coveted title “Honored Artist of Russia” in 2004, a title never before bestowed on a non-Russian citizen.
In 2001 Orbelian was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, an award given to immigrants, or children of immigrants, who have made outstanding contributions to the United States. In 2012 the Russian Consulate in San Francisco awarded him the Russian Order of Friendship Medal, whose illustrious ranks include pianist Van Cliburn and conductor Riccardo Muti, and which singles out non-Russians whose work contributes to the betterment of international relations with the Russian Federation and its people.
Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian was born in Vilnius, into a family of musicians. She studied at the Lithuanian Music and Theatre Academy and started her operatic career while still a student. In 2005 Asmik made her international debut in Kristiansand, Norway, singing Donna Anna in "Don Giovanni," directed by Sir Jonathan Miller. That season she also made her debut at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater, singing Violetta in "La Traviata" as well as singing at the Wigmore Hall in London.
She appears regularly at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Oper Köln, Hamburgische Staatsoper, Theater an der Wien, Mariinsky and Mikhailovsky Theatres in St Petersburg, Royal Swedish Opera, Staatstheater Wiesbaden, Vlaamse Opera in Ghent and Antwerp, Oper Graz, Komische Oper Berlin, and the Latvian National Opera, Riga. She was a founding member of Vilnius City Opera and has been awarded the Golden Stage Cross (the highest award for singers in Lithuania) twice: in 2005 for her debut as Violetta and in 2010 for her performance as Mrs. Lovett in "Sweeney Todd."
Asmik has worked with a number of notable conductors, including Valery Gergiev, Vasily Petrenko, Gianandrea Noseda, Marc Soustrot, Martijn Brabbins, Yves Abel, Rolf Beck, Julian Reynolds, Mikhail Tatarnikov, Rafael Payare, Karen Durgaryan, Henrik Nánási, Tomáš Netopil, Tadeusz Wojciechowski, Gintaras Rinkevicius, and Juozas Domarkas.
Distinguished stage directors with whom she has collaborated include Peter Konwitschny, Ivo van Hove, La Fura dels Baus, Christof Loy, Barrie Kosky, Ingo Kerkhof, Sir Jonathan Miller, Andrejs Žagars, Robert Wilson, Dalia Ibelhauptaite, Kristina Wuss, and Vasily Barkhatov.
In the 2015-16 season Asmik sang in a revival of "Madama Butterfly" in Stockholm and a new production of "The Bassarids" at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, followed by a new production of "Eugene Onegin" at Komische Oper Berlin. She also sang the role of Giorgetta in "Il Tabarro" and the title role in "Suor Angelica" at Opera di Roma.
Seasons beyond 2015-16 will include performances in "Fedora" and "Manon Lescaut" at the Royal Swedish Opera, "Wozzeck" at the Royal Concertgebouw and the Salzburg Festival, "The Demon" at the Liceu, and "Halka" at the Theater an der Wien.
