M. MUSSORGSKY: "Boris Godunov" (Vera Stroyeva, 1954)

Directora: Vera Stroyeva (1954)

Stroyeva's triumph - brilliant opera film with the finest possible cast. Pirogov delivers a shattering performance of advancing mental illness driven by guilt and fear. Featuring Kozlovsky's haunting, unmatched Yuródivïy. Nelepp was one of the Bolshoi's greatest tenors and this is one of the only visual records of his work. Krivchenya, also in Stroyeva's Khovanshchina demonstrates powerful beauty of voice and unique dramatic gifts. Rare opportunity to see these immortal artists of the Bolshoi.
