Performer: Sergei Aleksashkin

Valery Gergiev ehrt Rodion Shchedrin zu dessen 85. Geburtstag in München mit einer kontemplativ-konzertanten Aufführung von The Enchanted Wanderer.

Rodion Shchedrin's opera mixes singing, choreography and storytelling to lend a potent sacred and mystic overlay to Nikolai Leskov's folk tale.

Mikhail Kazakov gives a compelling portrayal of the troubled Tsar Boris, as Gergiev and the Mariinsky provide a great showcase for one of the masterworks of Russian music.
