Thus, in 'Boris Godunov', alongside the hero of the title, the main role is actually taken primarily by the Russian people, rejoicing, starving, demanding and questioning. In conjuction with conductor Kent Nagano, Spanish stage director Calixto Bieito proposes an original reading of this brilliant work. The cast is led by Alexander Tsymbalyuk (Boris), with associates Gerhard Siegel (Schuisky), Markus Eiche (Chelkalov) and Anatoli Kotscherga (Pimen).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \"A 'Boris Godunov' to die for...The bass Alexander Tsymbalyuk sings Boris with handsome, lean tone and ably conveys the Czar's mental disintegration'' NEW YORK TIMES\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Director: Andy Sommer Length: 139 min. \u003cbr\u003e  Picture: NTSC, colour, 16:9\u003cbr\u003e  Audio: PCM Stereo, 5.1 Dolby Digital\u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles: French \/ English \/ German\u003cbr\u003e  Region: All Region\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"BelAir Classiques","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49060544807192,"sku":"3760115301023","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2522320.jpg?v=1777811104","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/boris-godunov-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
