Very touching: Ghiaurov sing in a wonderful way, and he plays the role with a perfect identification. Beautiful!!

Nicolai Ghiaurov und Boris Christoff sind die besten aller Zeiten!

[RusSoprano]

[1947Rollo]

Splendido!!!

Da ist der alte Bulgare! Oper ist schon noch a bisserl geiler als RAMMSTEIN und Motörhead....................

Uno de los Grandes Bajos; poseia un Arte, tanto vocal, como, artisticamente, que

muchas veces conmovia, como, me conmueve en este Borys; El fue uno de los

Grandes Borys, del siglo xx; y, aun hoy, sigue conmoviendome. Ghiaurov, fue,

un Artista De Los Mejores. Realmente, siempre lo admire, Me Resulta Maravillo-

so. Grande, realmente, Grandioso.

Just incredible.

@rvaughanwilliams1988 Absolutely!!! The Shostakovitch and Buketoff versions are completely faithful to the original 1872 version. Rimsky went too far with his rewriting and transposing, etc.

I think Ghiaurov is Boris. I have to say, though, that I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with what I've heard of Evgeny Nestorenko's Boris.

[rvaughanwilliams1988]

rimsky version needs to be thrown out

@StefanKaradja Before people start declaring anyone one or two "the best" as Boris, remember that there has been a great procession of great bassos in this role: Adamo Didur; Chaliapin; Kipnis; London; Christoff; Ghiaurov, Talvela; Nesterenko; and Shtokolov. And I sure I've left out someone important. It's hard to declare a "best," there are only favorites.

I think H vK conducting; they did it at Salzburg.
