Publisher Description Caryl Emerson (a literary specialist) and Robert William Oldani (a music historian) take a comprehensive look at the most famous Russian opera, Modest Musorgskys Boris Godunov. The result is both a historical study of a famous work and an interpretative piece of scholarship. The topics discussed include: the Boris Tale in history; Karamzins history and Pushkins drama as literary sources; Musorgskys innovations as a librettist and as a theorist of the sung Russian word; the strange story of the operas composition and revision; its first productions at home and abroad; and an in-depth musical analysis. In the process, several often-met errors in Musorgsky scholarship are clarified and corrected. A final chapter speculates on the operas themes of political murder, guilt and legitimacy - so important to Russian literary and national identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - and the new role the Boris plot and its composer might come to play in more recent phases of Russian cultural life. Author Biography James E. Falen is Emeritus Professor of Russian at the University of Tennessee. Caryl Emerson is the A. Watson Armour III Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University. She is the author of The Uncensored Boris Godunov.
