Hvorostovsky strikes a note of artless sincerity, matching the choir in mellifluousness, control of melodic lines and in unaffected expressiveness (...). The overwhelming impression is that the music is close to Hvorostovsky's heart, its dramatic impact directed at a higher power. Geoffrey Norris, Gramophone, November 2014, 'Editor's Choice'
Hvorostovsky strikes gold (...). This richly beautiful music, little known in the West, suits Hvorostovsky's bass-baritone to a T.
