Description:
Few operas have had such a remarkable history as Mussorgsky's masterpiece 'Boris Godunov'. It exists in no less than three complete versions by the composer himself, as well as posthumous editions and orchestrations by Rimsky-Korsakov (from which this arrangement is taken), Shostakovich and others. The Coronation Scene is set in the Square of the Moscow Kremlin, between the Cathedral of the Assumption and the Cathedral of Archangel Michael, the year is 1598. After being crowned as Tsar, Boris Godunov acknowledges the people's acclamations and the bells of the two cathedrals, as well as many churches within the vicinity, can be heard ringing out across St Petersburg. This item has been recently recorded on the CD 'East Coast Pictures' by The Leyland Band, conducted by Michael Fowles. It is available from this site (catalogue number: 0-571-52109-6).
