Il faut ajouter que cette version extraordinaire est un enregistrement sur le vif réalisé en 1927 à l'occasion des adieux de Chaliapine à Covent Garden. Quel extraordinaire chanteur-acteur. Pour moi le plus grand des Boris.
After Chaliapin. there was at least another great bass, whose brilliant performances i saw in a couple of operas, namely Boris Goudunoff and Kovantchina (both by Mussorgsky): the Bulgarian opera singer BORIS CHRISTOFF.

Je le pense aussi, le plus grand des Boris dans ce chef-d'œuvre de Moussorgski.
I grew up listening to this on 78's. My mom's parents studied with him prior to WWI. I really love Opera
Thank you for sharing your memories.
This is one of the most moving scenes in all of opera. I was getting chills.

Einfach streng und wunderbar. Die russische Seele!
The best!
Immenso, inarrivabile. L'anima tragica dei russi.
1000 years of Russian sorrow encapsulated in 4 minutes of song and music. Glorious
I should also mention another great bass, nameliy as buffo bass interpreter of Rossini operas: the Italian ITALO TAJO.
