Title: Mussorgsky wrote. Korsakow "corrected"
Review: The revision of Korsakow was unfortunately used in all the world until the 70s.Mussorgsky was so modern that no one could understand his rhythms, his harmony and his orchestration .Korsakow didn't corrected, as the majority of people think, only the orchestration. He changed rhythms, harmony and the order of the scenes. Now this revision is part of the past.No one serious theater in the world uses it now. If you yet insist in hear this masterpiece in these criminal "revision" by Korsakow , this is the recording.The singers are good and the conductor is excellent.But if you want to know Boris in the way the author wrote, you must hear the recordings of Gergiev, Abbado, Fedoseyev , Tchakarow....But hearing this "soft" version you will hear less than the half of one of the most important operas of all the times.
