I Met You, My Love is a 2002 album of 'Old Russian Romances', light-classical Russian songs by baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky in arrangements for the recording by Evgeny Stetsyuk, with Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and Russian folk ensemble Style of Five, directed Constantine Orbelian. It is Hvorostovsky's only commercial recording of the popular salon songs he sometimes uses as encores in recitals in Russia. The album was very popular in Russia, but was generally not well received in the western classical press. The Gramophone's reviewer noted that the expertise of the singer could not elevate most of the songs to the Russian art song repertoire.
