About the Artist
Born in Russia in 1871, Vladimir Kastorsky became a leading bass at the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, famous especially for singing the leads in 'A Life for the Tsar' and 'Ruslan and Lyudmila.' In 1908, he created the role of Pimen in 'Boris Godunov' at the first performance in Paris. Although self-taught, he won critical praise and sang for over four decades, displaying his beautiful voice of distinctive timbre. In his day, he was ranked with Chaliapin and Sibiryakov, but is not as well remembered today. He died in 1948.
