I hunted around to find a video of Bryn Terfel, the only active baritone considered to be in the same league with Dmitri, singing Largo al factorum–and to my surprise–I couldn’t find one. On the other hand, I can’t find a video of Dmitri singing the role of Figaro in The Marriage of Figaro–just the Count. Lots of of videos of Bryn singing that role, however. Very interesting. I must admit, if I were a baritone, I wouldn’t want to be compared to this performance of Largo al factorum.

What an amazing baritone Dmitri is. Here’s hoping that wonderful voice isn’t stilled and he recovers completely.
