Boris Christoff (Bulgarian: Борис Христов) (May 18, 1914, Plovdiv, Bulgaria – June 28, 1993, Rome, Italy) was a Bulgarian opera singer, one of the greatest basses of the 20th century. Owing to his matchless stage presence and strong dramatic temperament, he emerged as a worthy heir to the grand tradition of Slavonic basses. He sang mostly Verdi and the Russian repertoire, although he also proved to be a refined performer of vocal chamber music. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Boris+Christoff
