Comments:- Recording based on a performance given on Danish Radio with an audience (27 March 1972). The booklet which accompanies the LPs contains the following note �Based on the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) Copenhagen performance, 27th March 1972. In a subsequent session, brief supplementary retakes were made for technical reasons, conducted by Joel Lazar assistant to Jascha Horenstein� This was amplified by Joel Lazar in an E-mail to the OPERA-L website (12 June 2000). Mr. Lazar states �In December 1973, [with Horenstein's prior consent] I returned to Copenhagen and recorded the major scenes from Acts I and IV with Boris Christoff to cover passages which had not gone to their satisfaction in either the performance or in rehearsals. Approximately 25 minutes of the final release comes from that session.� This was some months after Horenstein's death on 2 April 1973
Recordings of Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky are surveyed in the following publications:-
High Fidelity November 1956 Vol.6 No.11 p.108; Opera October 1958 p.636; HARRIS p.51; Opera on Record p.508; MARINELLI p.289; CELLETTI p.538; Opéra International May 1984 No.70 p.10; Opera on CD (1) p.89 (2) p.98 (3) p.109; L'Avant Scène Opéra No.27-28 p.186, No.191 p.128; MET p.347; MET(VID) p.192; PENGUIN p.264; Répertoire No.71 juillet/aoüt 1994 p.9; GIUDICI p.516 (2) p.853; International Opera Collector Autumn 1998 No.9 p.38; American Record Guide May/June 2003 Vol.66 No.3 pp.54-63
Comments:- Recording of a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's version in The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (November 1974). It appears that this performance was not broadcast so, presumably, the recording was made �in-house�. In one of the seven performance that were given the role of Varlaam was sung by Richard Van Allan and that of the Hostess was sung by Anne Wilkens in two of them (see OPERA September 1975 pp.887-889). It is therefore possible that these singers appear in the recording issued by Charles Handelman which is listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 p.13.

This recording is reviewed in the following publications:-
Comments:- Recording of a performance in La Fenice (10 January 1976). The Mondo Musica and The Opera Lovers CDs give the year (incorrectly) as 1968. According to the �Cronolgia� in �Boris Christoff� by Carlo Curami and Maurizio Modugno Boris Christoff did not sing Attila anywhere in 1968 (pp.392-393)

Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. The performance on 27 March 1979 is reviewed in OPERA May 1979 pp.494-495. It appears that none of the performances in this series was broadcast, so the recording was probably made �in-house�.
