Mussorgsky - Boris Godunov / Nesterenko, Sinyavskaya, Piavko, Kudryashov, Vedernikov, Eizen, Lazarev, Bolshoi Opera
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 Mussorgsky's death in 1881, the work was revised by Rimsky-Korsakov whose version is sung in this performance.
