I believe Mark Reizen's 90th birthday performance earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records but I'd have to check it out to confirm. Truly remarkable!
A legendary voice of legendary durability - is this the greatest Boris? Chilling. Magnificent. And yes, there's video of his Gremin aria (from a Bolshoi celebration of his birthday) at age 90. Stupefying. I just saw Domingo sing Oreste at age 70 and thought THAT a miracle... I don't think this is Soviet flim-flam...I don't think either the great Reizen or the great Pirogov ever sang outside the USSR. It's another YouTube miracle that we can enjoy and help perpetuate these wonderful artists.
Thanks for uploading - Mark in incredible!!! I'll be singing this role some day...hopefully sooner than later...and it's just wonderful to be able to pull this up and listen - what an artist!!!

My God! Mark Reizen was born in 1895. If the title of this clip is accurate, we was 85 years old when he reocorded this!!
Absolutely unbelievable!

Great historic footage of the astounding
Mark Reizen in one of his most eloquently
sung roles. Reizen sings every note in
the score while brilliantly portraying the
inner Boris! Thank you for sharing this
consummate, beautifully filmed perfor-
mance!
