Boris Godounov

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Aleksandr Vedernikov & Vladimir Matorin & Irina Arkhipova & Yuri Mazurok & Академический Большой хор «Мастера хорового пения» & Vladimir Fedoseyev

Boris Godunov is an opera by Modest Mussorgsky, completed in 1869 and revised in 1872. Musically it combines Russian folk-influenced melodies, modal and chromatic harmonies, expansive choral writing and declamatory vocal lines to create a speech-driven, dramatic idiom that marked Mussorgsky's move towards a nationalistic, realist approach within 19th-century Russian opera.
