Boris Godunov

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Boris Christoff & Nicolai Gedda & Eugenia Zareska & Kim Borg & Andrzej Bielecki

Boris Godunov is an opera by Modest Mussorgsky, completed in 1869 and revised in 1872. The score features Russian modal harmonies, bold chromaticism and declamatory vocal writing within expansive orchestral textures, and it stands as Mussorgsky's most substantial stage work with an important role in the development of Russian operatic realism.
