В день рождения великого певца. Марк Осипович Рейзен. Хованщина. Мусоргский Taken from a late 1950’s Mosfilm version of the opera (directed by Vera Stroyeva), this video captures Reizen towards the end of his distinguished stage career. The aria and following scene were severely abridged for the film, but the sonorous voice is in top form, and (as always) Reizen’s singing and presence are absolutely authoritative. #МаркРейзен #MarkReizen #music #opera #опера #хованщина
