Galouzine doesn't really sound like a tenor, or a baritone; he just has a voice, which goes up or down as far as you could wish without losing its intense ring or richness.
The Guardian
Welcome to the website entirely dedicated to the internationally acclaimed opera singer, Vladimir Galouzine, who is regarded as one of the leading Russian tenors of our time. A former soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre, he still frequently works with Valery Gergiev, as well as with other leading conductors and directors throughout the world. He has been described as having a unique talent, in that he combines a perfect vocal technique and magnificient voice with the qualities of a superb dramatic actor. These qualities have won him the admiration of audiences worldwide, and have made him a star at Paris Opera Bastille, La Scala, Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera. He is considered to be the finest interpreter of the role of Hermann in Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades and on of the best of today's Otellos.
What really amazes me is the whole range of talents that this absolutely outstanding singer possesses. He has the astonishing ability to live on stage and to illuminate everything around him. Valery Gergiev
