Boris Godunov

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Boris Christoff & Sofia National Opera Chorus & Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire & André Cluytens

Boris Godunov is an opera by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, first performed in 1874. The score blends Russian folk-inflected melodies, expansive choral passages and declamatory solo writing to convey political and psychological drama, representing a key development in Mussorgsky's move towards musical realism and a stronger national style in late 19th-century Russian opera.
First released: 1987
