Dmitri Hvorostovsky & Evgeny Kolobov. Largo al Factotum. G.Rossini.

"Largo al factotum" is an aria from The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini and represents an icon in popular culture of operatic singing. The aria is often noted as one of the most difficult baritone arias to perform. This, along with the tongue-twisting nature of some of the lines, insisting on Italian superlatives (always ending in "-issimo"), have made it a pièce de résistance in which a skilled baritone has the chance to highlight all of his qualities. The great artists, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Evgeny Kolobov are a unique tandem totally devoted to music. What rendition, what temperament both have! The orchestra follows the soloist under the guidance of the great maestro Kolobov !!
