Powerful, temperamental, passionate! Another little gem from Sultan Baisultanov, Russian-Chechen singer from Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Herman part from the famous Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades, was his last part. The tragic story of a gambler, tormented by his love to Lisa, who took his life. Being 60 and still singing this difficult part? People said Sultan was completely transformed on the stage and acted so powerful and with such strong expression - you had goosebumps.
I wish the whole recording of this performance was available!
