Spectacular in English
E. J. Van Sten | 04/25/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Here are excerpts of Boris Godunov based on Mussorgsky's 1869 version, in (perfectly understandable) English, I'm not particularly in favour of opera in translation, but for this opera, it works well. The translation is intelligent, close to the original Russian, and the translator sensibly focused on emphasis and rhythm.



The cast is spectacular, headed by John Tomlinson as an impressive and at the end, hugely moving Boris. Daniel clearly knows the score well, and conducts an exciting performance. Recorded quality is very acceptable, but ideally might have given the orchestra slightly more prominence.



This would easily be my favourite Boris on disk (well, next to the Cluytens), if it had been recorded in its entirety. Sadly, to my knowledge, only these excerpts were recorded. This is particularly painful when you consider that this is far better than most other Opera In English releases!



Still, not to be missed!"
