"Registratie van een uitvoering van de bewerking door David Lloyd-Jones in het Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg, april 1990."
"Filmed at the historic Bolshoi Theatre, Mussorgsky's deeply Russian masterpiece is a drama of conscience wrapped in a crime thriller, inside a historical epic."
"Stephen Wadsworth's production of Mussorgsky's epic masterpiece brilliantly captures the suffering and ambition of the Russian people at a critical time in their nation's history. René Pape is riveting as the Tsar of the title, giving a commanding and charismatic performance of one of the greatest bass roles in the repertoire--his Boris is dominating, tortured, flawed and utterly unforgettable. The extraordinary cast and the Met Orchestra and Chorus are led by Russian maestro Valery Gergiev, the foremost Mussorgsky interpreter of our time."
"A version of the Mussorgsky opera about the half-crazed Tsar."
""This 1954 film adaptation of Boris Godunov is one of the most successful of Russian operatic films. It deftly streamlines the story of the Russian czar whose regime and life are threatened by the False Dmitri, a pretender to the throne. Director Vera Stroyeva's approach to the opera is distinctly cinematic. Her atmospheric handling of the crowd scenes, juxtaposed with startling close-ups, is strongly reminiscent of the work of her celebrated predecessor, Sergei Eisenstein. This production is dominated by Alexander Pirogov in the title role. In the tradition of the greatest of Russian bassos, Pirogov delivers a magnificently sung performance with a keen dramatic edge. Georgi Nelepp as the False Dmitri and Ivan Kozlovsky as the Simpleton add strong characterizations to this compelling version of Mussorgsky's masterpiece."--Conteneur."
"Boris Godunov is the story not only of a troubled leader but of an entire nation, and its history is as eventful as that of Mother Russia herself. In this new production, the legendary director Andrei Konchalovsky presents a personal vision of the opera that takes Mussorgsky's bare and monumental first version as its basis, while adding the final scene from the composer's revision, in which not only the Tsar but the people themselves reveal their fatal flaws."
"Full-length version of the Mussorgsky opera about the half-crazed Tsar."
"Full-length version of the Mussorgsky opera (Rimsky-Korsakov version) about the half-crazed Tsar."
"Presents a faithful production of the Standard Rimsky-Korsakov version taped "live" at the Bolshoi in 1978. Yevgeni Nesterenko gives a vivid human portrait of the tormented half-crazed czar."@en
