Within a Bakhtinian framework, Caryl Emerson explores these three versions of the Boris Tale, the context of their genesis, and their [...].  |

Martti Talvela as the tormented tsar, Nicolai Gedda as his adversary and (historically, but not in the opera) short-lived successor Grigory, and Aage Haugland in the small but comically rich role of the monk Varlaam give particularly fine and distinctive performances in a generally good but not outstanding production. But the chief interest of this recording, dating from 1976, is that it is the first one to present Boris as imagined by Mussorgsky rather than in the Rimsky-Korsakov revision. - -Joe McLellan.  |
