Who's the accompanist, please? (Któ igrájet na rojálje, pozháluysta?) He deserves some real credit (some of the passages in the last two of those lieder are quite tricky!) as well. Otherwise, Gospodjín Khvorostóvskiy not only has a commanding voice but what a stage presence to boot!
Dmítriy is his given name indeed. However, to go straight to 1st-name terms is a NO-NO!!! "Gospodjín" + surname is the right form of address for a man ("Gospozhá" for a woman) when you don't know the person at all. After, when you know him (her) as a colleague or somebody older than yourself, you use the given name AND the patronymic (I don't know what was his father's given name). Using the given name - usually a diminutive thereof in fact - is done ONLY with family and close friends.
@operarts There are much better renditions and artists around... Heovostovsky sings like an emotionless inexpressive robot... Look for the basses of old days, that's beautiful and with heart, soul and chills
Tutto cio' che la sua voce tocca diventa oro purissimo.
Thank you very much indeed!! He deserves to be known!!!
Величественный. Какой человек. Браво
Estremecedora interpretación! Su expresividad llega a lo más hondo del alma.

Would someone kindly put a translation of the words into English?

That;s all you can say about this artist....you have a right to express insanity. Shame!
