Mussorgsky Khovanshchina Bayerisches Staatsorchester Nagano

As Marfa, the spurned lover of Ivan Khovanskys son Andrei, Doris Soffel unfolds such a rich palette of sonorities, from the pathos of the lower ranges to shaded distant heights, that one is tempted to speak of a Russian mezzo.

Fantastic cast: Anatoly Kotscherga portrays the religious leader Dosifei with fervor and bluster, Klaus Florian Vogt dazzles heroically as Andrey, John Daszak is a technically flawless Golitsin, and bass-baritone Paata Burchuladze gives a charismatic, forceful account of Prince Ivan Khovansky.
The final chorus, which Mussorgsky did not compose, is played in the orchestrally transparent version of Igor Stravinsky the third great Russian composer who contributed to making Khovanshchina a gripping stage work for all times.
With his stripped-down sets and historicizing costumes, director Dmitri Tcherniakov, one of the new voices of contemporary Russian theater, builds a bridge to the political present.
