Boris Godunov (2007)
Mussorgsky is one of the most outstanding composers of the 19th century, whose imprint can be traced from Janacek, Debussy and Alban Berg to Messiaen. Boris Godunov talks about the loneliness of the powerful visionary, the people's fascination with false prophets and the infernal machine of the struggle for power.
