The resemblance of Alexander Ognivtsev to Chaliapin has been much commented upon (photos on the left, Ognivtsev; on the right, Chaliapin). But were they sound-alikes as well? You be the judge.

Alexander Pavlovich Ognivtsev (b. Aug. 27, Petrovskoye, Lugansk Oblast; died Sept. 8, Moscow) was a leading bass at the Bolshoi Theater for three decades, from about 1950 until his death. Born in the eastern-most portion of Ukraine, his father was a machinist and a talented amateur singer who influenced Alexander's love for music. Ognivtsev studied communications at a technical college in Kharhov, then took a job with the railroad as a signal man. During this time, he sang quite often while accompanying himself on guitar. Thinking himself a tenor, Ognivtsev explicitly copied the records of Ivan Kozlovsky. When the railroad crew got to Kishinev (now Chisinau, Moldova), his buddies convinced him to study at the Kishinev Conservatory. He took classes under Vasily G. Dolev, who informed the young singer he was actually a bass. Before he finished graduation, he participated in trials for the Bolshoi Theater. The legendary coloratura soprano Antonina Nezhdanova, impressed with both his voice and his striking resemblance to Chaliapin, instructed him to return to Kishinev to finish conservatory and come see her afterward. Nezhdanova took almost a motherly interest in developing Ognivtsev's talent. She and famed conductor Nikolai Golovanov worked hard to prepare him for his Bolshoi debut as Dosifei in 1949. His outstanding performances in this role won him the Stalin Prize in 1951. His best roles also included Boris, Pimen, King Philip II, Basilio, Mephistopheles, Ivan the Terrible, King Rene (Tchaikovsky's 'Iolanta') and the General (Prokofiev's 'The Gambler'). He became People's Artist in 1965. His rival Ivan Petrov was the favored bass of the day, hence Ognivtsev rarely sang on complete opera recordings. Among those he made, he sang the Old Gypsy (Aleko, 1951); Tsar Nicholas I (The Decembrists, Shaporin); Gremin (Eugene Onegin, 1970); Dosifei (Khovanshchina, 1974); the General (Gambler, 1981) plus small parts in War and Peace and Boris Godunov (singing one of the Jesuits with Nesterenko in the tile part) released posthumously. A famous Boris, he recorded extracts of this role on LP as well as many recitals of art songs and romances that revealed his acute expressive means to their fullest. He also appeared widely on TV and made a few films: 'The Grand Concert' (where he played the part of an aspiring young bass at the Bolshoi), 1952; the title part in 'Aleko', 1953; and as Chaliapin in the 1954 film 'Rimsky-Korsakov'. Ognivtsev drank heavily and bragged about his capacity for liquor. This may have affected his health and perhaps contributed to his untimely death. It also could be a factor in the noticeable decline in his voice that started around the early-to-mid 1960's. It was no longer the rock-firm, beautifully controlled basso cantante of the 1950's. But even in his later years, the gorgeous timbre / like a cavernous bronze bell / and his elegant feel for poetry and theatrical intensity made him one of the most satisfying Russian basses of his time. Tall, blonde and handsome, he cut a fine figure on stage and could be a mesmerizing actor, especially in the parts of Boris, Ivan the Terrible, and the General (Gambler).
