		Many critics prefer Christoff’s earlier assumption of this most taxing of roles, and though he is undoubtedly fresher voiced in 1952, the subtlety of the vocal acting ten years on makes this set very compelling indeed.
		Any Boris stands or falls by its central role, and there can be little doubt that Christoff, who had dominated the part since his debut in London in 1949, is as grippingly effective as one could reasonably hope for.
		As Christoff himself put it at the time, "The interpretation I have given is substantially the same as before but enriched by the experience of hundreds of performances and by my own artistic maturity".

		His Boris is a huge character, with plenty of wild anger in the second act leading up to the Clock scene, and his Death throes make you want to call for a medic.
		If you find Christoff as compelling as I do, this is self-recommending; if not, Abbado leads the original version on Sony ideally, and Karajan's (Decca) Rimsky version has the irresistible Ghiaurov in the title role.

	Classical Net Review - Mozart - Don Giovanni
		The Boris Godunov was recorded in 1962 with producer René Challan; the intention obviously was to replace EMI's monaural version from a decade earlier, also recorded in Paris, and also featuring Boris Christoff in three roles.
		Some of their singing, while to the manner born, seems slightly provincial to me. Apart from Christoff, the performances are competent but only rarely memorable.
		This is as much Rimsky-Korsakov's Boris as Mussorgsky's, and I think the opera should end with the Simpleton's lament, not with the death of Boris, as happens here.
