t hardly seems possible that more than 20 years have passed since Dmitri Hvorostovsky, a handsome, astonishingly mature 26 year-old from Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, clinched the title of Cardiff (now BBC Cardiff) JAMES CHEADLEI Singer of the World. In doing so, he beat the favourite, Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, in what has since become known as the ‘Battle of the Baritones’. Both have gone on to enjoy two of the most illustrious international careers in music today and reach out to audiences way beyond the confines of opera houses, symphonic and recital halls.
