CRITIC REVIEW:
“One of the few singers of the post-Revolutionary generation who had the possibility of studying in Italy – two years at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome – is the Byelorussian-born Aleksandr Baturin, an ideal singer for transitional roles, such as Escamillo, Prince Igor and Count Tomsky, for which basses usually lack the high range, while baritones do not have the dark, low notes required.”
