I wanted to listen to Gremin's aria in Onegin sung by Nicolai Ghiaurov, so I typed "Ghiaurov Gremin" on YouTube.
"Did you mean 'Ghiaurov gremlin'?"
No, I didn't mean that. Unless the great Bulgarian bass unexpectedly turned into a mythical creature.

Il grande Ghiaurov!
If you want to listen to/watch a great concert, I have got what you need! Nicolai Ghiaurov sings arias with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester conducted by Georges Prêtre. There are also instrumental and choral pieces, like the wonderful sinfonia from La forza del destino and Va, pensiero from Nabucco.

I'm watching/listening to this wonderful Forza del destino from La Scala in 1978. A fantastic cast — Carreras, Caballé, Cappuccilli, Ghiaurov, Bruscantini, Nave — in excellent form, and a great conductor, Giuseppe Patanè. Scenery and costumes by Renato Guttuso (!)

This is truly a Nabucco for the history books. Souliotis is in very good voice, the best Abigaille after Callas. Guelfi and Ghiaurov are likewise excellent. I see that Cecchele's son got into an argument with the poster in the comments, despite this being the only Verdi opera without a tenor aria.

Oh my word, this version of the Pearl Fishers duet on BBC Radio3 with Luciano Pavarotti and Nicolaï Ghiaurov is just extraordinarily beautiful

On peut en effet apprécier la version Muti, avec un Ramey qui devrait davantage vous plaire, mais La Scola ne remplace vraiment pas Pavarotti, et les ruptures sont plus accentuées...
(je conçois qu'on n'apprécie pas les effets et le timbre de bronze de Ghiaurov, mais c'est dommage, quand même)

(J'ai beaucoup de peine à supporter Ghiaurov avant la fin des années 80, quand la voix s'effiloche et qu'on entend enfin un peu les mots et les émotions.)
