Description
Release Date: 30 January 2006
Boris Godunov is the quintessential Russian opera and brings to the stage one of the most curious episodes in the history of 16th-century Russia. After Mussorgski's death in 1881, the work was revised by Rimsky-Korsakov whose version is sung in this performance. The great moments came across potently: the coronation scene with its splendid processions and cries of "Glory!" contrasted with Boris's misgivings; the comedy of the scene with the country innkeeper and her wandering monk guests; the clock scene; the revolution scene in the Kromy Forest, which ends with a village idiot's lament for strife-torn Russia; and Boris's death.
