With Chaliapin, it’s an altogether different experience.
We are caught up in the web of the great singing actor. Boris Godunov was murdered to get his throne.
He’s alone in his great palace. It is dark. The candle’s flicker. He feels he is suffocating, and his imagination is running riot.
What’s that? A Ghost?
Play this when you’re in alone and put out the lights.
