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 perfomance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. This is probably of the performance on 6 November 1958 which was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (see Radio Times Issue dated November 2-8 1958 p.43). The performance on 31 October 1958 is reviewed in OPERA December 1958 pp.809-812. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». Here the date of the performance broadcast is given as «Nov, 7 1958», but Boris Godunov was not performed at Covent Garden on that date. The CDRs issued by «Live Opera Heaven» are listed in their «JANUARY 2008 ALERT». The date of the performance recorded is also given here (incorrectly) as «11/7/58».
