Mussorgsky - Boris Godunov Act 2 Clock Scene Mark Reizen , N. Khanaev 

Uno dei più grandi, grandissimo cantante e attore per fortuna rimangono filmati e l incisione reperibile in CD

What an astonishing, wonderous voice. Remarkable acting. My viewing pleasure could be greater only by sitting front-row-center at his live performance.

Какое счастье, Автор канала, что Вы предоставили эту чудесную запись из "Бориса Годунова" с великим Рейзен и великолепным Ханаевым! Какой необ'ятный океан страстей человеческих передан в ней! Благодарю Вас!

Real Russian genius in these scenes and opera films. Cinema, acting, singing, sets - all perfection. These artifacts are priceless windows into the past. I marvel at the heights so many gifted artists reached under a totalitarian, repressive government.

Magnificent singing and acting! TY for posting

EIN ABSOLUTER SUPERSTAR

Sadly probably not. This and the monologue (see my other upload on youtube) and one way post synched - coronation scene may be the only visual testimony of this great performance. The 1951 by Vera Stroyeva used Alexander Pirogov - the same Khanaev as Shuisky. In 1959 they cast Reizen in another Stroyeva Film in the great role of Dosifei in Khovanshchina conducted by Svetlanov and with a new orchestration by Shostakovich. Of course there is the complete opera on record from 1948.

Reizen is, in my opinion, the equal of Christoff and Chaliapin.

Это психологическая драма.
