His full name is Vyatcheslav Kagen-Paley, born in Gomel, Belorussia, trained at the Tchaikovsky Music School, and debuted with the Leningrad Philharmonic in 1987.
Have you seen or heard his records? When it comes to operatic voices, I am very conservative, but perhaps I should open up a bit.Strange last name, too.
I don't know if this would be of general interest, but having stage name "Slava" would not sound strange or out of place. It is its use with the last name that dissonates. That particular combination is usually reserved for kids.
I only have his rendition of "Ave Maria" on a CD (Trance Planet Vol. 3; Triloka 69712-4110-2) and I thought it sounded like a very good (and very big) woman.
