Fay, in an illuminating musical analysis, points out that the interpretation of the opera depends very much on which edition is used. Robert Oldani introduces the 'Boris problem': Pushkin's play was not an obvious choice for a young composer, since it had been banned from performance for forty years, and it is the Russian people, rather than any single character, who is the protagonist. Mussorgsky forged his own text and created a legendary masterwork; Alex de Jonge examines its uniquely Russian character and notes the unsettling parallels of the history of old Russia with today. Nigel Osborne's comparison of the Rimsky-Korsakov and Mussorgsky versions highlights their individual qualities.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Calder Opera Guides in Association with the English National Opera (ENO)Release Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
