Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

October 2014

Like Night on a Bare Mountain, Boris Godunov was subjected to a multitude of revisions by Rimsky-Korsakov and others. Valery Gergiev, conducting forces from the Kirov Opera, here restores Mussorgsky's own final version from 1872, with commanding performances from Vladimir Vaneyev in the title role, Vladimir Galouzine as Grigory, Evgeny Nikitin as Rangoni, and Olga Borodina as Marina.
