After all the promos, the stage action of "Boris" finally begins - 16:35 ; the music starts here - 17:48 ; Old Believers enter - 27:40 ;; Coronation scene - 34:40 ;;; 43:15
It is sad to hear the state of Bryn Terfel’s voice at the age of 57. He is an intelligent singing actor who should begin to set aside the Wotans and Scarpias of his youth. Same for Boris, a role that many bass-baritones have sung far better than Terfel: London, Talvela, Nesterenko, Hines, Tozzi… The production is handsome enough, but it proves that the original version of Boris does not measure up to the later versions Mussorgsky wrote at the insistence of both the critics and his friends.

Vous êtes sévère, Bryn Terfel est un Boris Godunov bien plus convaincant que beaucoup d'autres...
Well.. Martti was no bassbariton or bass, he was phenomenom!
