Boris Godunov
The role of the guilt-ridden Tsar Boris Godu nov is not only supreme for Russian operatic basses, but one that has been a challenge for singers of all countries.
In this programme John Warrack considers the character of Boris and the opera itself in its various guises: with records of some of the work's most celebrated interpreters, among them CHALIAPIN, CHRISTOFF, GHIAUROV, TALVELA, LONDON and PINZA.
