content: Many of these are from recordings made when this fabulous Ukrainian tenor was old. The Russians worked him well into his 90s. But what a voice. Even though these are from his later life, they are better than nothing. This voice is definitely one of a kind, with emotion so involving that it often draws tears to listeners' eyes. People who have only heard this recording of his voice should get earlier examples. As a younger man Kozlovsky sang with the most incredibly bel canto line squeezing every bit of meaning from the words. When I recently asked a very famous modern Russian baritone what he thought of Kozlovsky's voice, he said he did not like it. As a trained singer, I pressed him to explain further and he just muttered, "He sings in the old way." Whatever the old way is, I want it. It has passion and subtle nuances of feeling, quite different from some present-day singers' tendency to "bellow" while trying to demonstrate drama.
