Ezio Pinza live at the Met in 1939 - "Boris Godunov" coronation scene

  / vinyltovideo   Donations (Thank-You!): Here is the coronation scene with Ezio Pinza from Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov." This is from the December 9, 1939 Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast of the opera with Ettore Panizza conducting. Other cast members included Alessio De Paolis (Prince Shuisky), Nicola Moscona (Pimen), Charles Kullman (Grigory), Kerstin Thorborg (Marina), Leonard Warren (Rangoni), Norman Cordon (Varlaam), Nicholas Massue (Simpleton), George Cehanovsky (Shchelkalov), Doris Doe (Innkeeper), Giordano Paltrinieri (Missail), John Gurney (Officer), Marita Farell (Xenia), Irra Petina (Feodor), Anna Kaskas (Nurse), Wilfred Engelman (Lavitsky), Arnold Gabor (Chernikovsky), and Nicholas Massue (Boyar in Attendance). It's unfortunate that this was performed in Italian at the Met for so many years (even when Chaliapin performed it there.. and then later in English!) but I don't know that Pinza would have sang it in Russian anyways. I have several recordings of this opera, even one in French but interestingly enough not one in Russian. Perhaps I would if I were at all into modern recordings/broadcasts of opera.
