Quote from: Tsaraslondon on March 07, 2025, 02:08:25 PMI always think I'd cut most of Siegfried.

Quote from: Tsaraslondon on March 07, 2025, 02:08:25 PMAnd which version of Boris are you thinking of?



The one that Covent Garden did with the Tarkovsky production.

I would probably never have known it, if I hadn't see it performed in Milan, La Scala, during a Journalism conference there in 2015. Flabbergasted.

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Quote from: Mandryka on March 07, 2025, 01:15:22 PMIt's quite a high standard. I would cut either the willow song or the ave maria from Otello, and possibly Iago's creed.
Can someone please bring the smelling salts to me?
