Mussorgsky: Khovanschina

0.0 174 mins Music   2007
Unitel   EuroArts   Bayerische Staatsoper  
Director(s): Dmitri Tcherniakov

One of Modest Mussorgsky's great talents was his unique ability to transpose words, psychological states, and even physical movements, into music. Kent Nagano rises magnificently to the challenges presented by this score. And Dmitri Tcherniakov's fascinating production emphasizes the timeless quality of this sombre tale of intrigue and power struggles reminiscent of a Greek tragedy, reflecting Mussorgsky's own maxim: "The past in the present - that is my task."
