wow, I had a totally different view to Matti Salminen before, and as a finn thought Talvela is way superior to him, but damn this is great performance.
Always has been my favorite opera. With a few minor exceptions (Beethovens 6th and Ravels Borelo) Russian composers are far, FAR supreme in passion of music.
Superb.TY for posting.

What a magnificent sonorous voice! What version is this:- Mussorsky's original, Rimsky Kosakoff's, or Shostakovich?

They explore the mind and soul. That's what makes them so good. Russian novelists are the same way.

A colleague of mine was on stage once with Salminen, and reported that when he sang, it was like a wall of sound hit her. Amazing voice!

Matti is superb, but I prefer, however slightly, Martti. Man, these Finns can sing.

Yep. Matti is one of the biggest guys on the market. I think 195 cm and 130 kg...
