“The Ukrainian Yuriy Yurchuk draws very well that incomprehensible and contradictory Onegin, in a certain way a precursor of Russian philosophical nihilism and whose life has neither direction nor moral sense. His voice is pleasant and well projected.”
“The famous Eugene Onegin is sung by baritone Yuriy Yurchuk, who held this role for his debut at the National Opera of Ukraine in 2018. Here he elegantly interprets the indecisive seducer. Although he is a smug and condescending character, his doubts and remorse quickly resurface through a versatile singing ability.”
”There was something poignantly contradictory in how the Ukrainian baritone, Yuriy Yurchuk, articulating Russian more clearly than any other soloist, heart-wrenchingly sang of rusty escort bells, their toll resonating for both the misguided and the righteous alike.”
There was something contradictory tragic about how heartbreakingly Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk the most clear of the soloists, speaking Russian, sang about rusty escort bells that haunt both the unjust and the righteous.
