Re: Chaliapin does Boris Godunov - that's Nelepp w, KGB :~(

Chaliapin wins the Clock Scene hands down but my 1st exposure was to the beautiful Mark Reizen performance with Ivan Koslovsky devastatingly poignant as the 'Simpleton" - film version also has Georgi Nelepp - a great under-recognized voice if not 'great guy' - very even timbre and real heroic tenor - in todays terms would be termed 'laser-like' in focus and ring - much like Leon Escalis but an odd "hollow"/"haunting" quality - best I've heard in 'Pique Dame' - am seeking more Lemeshev.
