Robert Hugill gives a four-star review to Ildar Abdrazakov’s Delos debut release, Power Players on his Planet Hugill blog:
“He has a vibrantly vivid voice, with a lovely rich, grainy tone along with an admirable freedom at the top and superb diction. Whilst he clearly has not sung all these roles yet on stage, there is a clear sense of dramatic freedom in his performances and some characters, such as Vaarlam in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov leap off the disc. … Abdazakov is well supported by Orbelian and the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra. This is a fine recital, full of wonderful promise as Abdrazakov takes his lovely dark toned voice through an interesting selection of showcase arias. It is certainly a promise of fine performances to come and all lovers of great voices and of the Russian repertoire will want to hear this brilliant new talent.” —Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill
