Notes & Reviews:

One of Modest Mussorgsky's great talents was his unique ability to transpose words, psychological states and even physical movements into music. Kent Nagano rises to the challenges presented by this score. And Dimitri Tcherniakov's fascinating production emphasizes the timeless quality of this somber tale of intrigue and power struggles reminiscent of a Greek tragedy, reflecting Mussorgsky's own maxim: "The past in the present - that is my task."
