"Prachtvoll ist der Klang der Göteborger Sinfoniker, und doch liegt über der Eröffnungsszene im Hof des Neujungfrauenklosters eine tiefe Melancholie. Puschkins Ironie ... Im samtenen Bass von Mika Kares' Pimen glüht noch die alte Leidenschaft, und im jugendlichen Tenor von Sergei Skorokhodovs Grigori spürt man die Sehnsucht nach Leben und Macht ... Vor der Basiliuskathedrale trifft der Schrei nach Brot durch den vorzüglichen Chor ebenso ins Mark wie die so menschliche Klage des Narren von Boris Stepanov. Eine humane Interpretation bis zu Boris' Tod".

"Kent Nagano makes a powerful case for the original 1869 version being a different work from the 1874-revision with the Polish act. With the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Nagano conjures up a dark and brutal world ... Nagano is scrupulous in his attention to detail ... [and] makes Musorgsky's remarkable soundworld with its dark strings, growling brass and ever-present bells utterly compelling ... Alexander Tsymbalyuk is a youthful Boris, lacking the grafelly weight of his predecessors ... Mika Kares is a more traditional Pimen ... Of course the principal character in this great drama is the chorus, and the Gothenburg Opera Chorus are superb".

"Nagano keeps Mussorgsky's musical argument taut and the playing of the Gothenburg SO is very fine, even if he irons out some of the score's crumpled earthiness ... Nagano has gathered together an excellent, largely Russian cast, led by Alexander Tsymbalyuk's Boris, his softgrained, beautiful bass sounding youthful if under-characterised ... But Tsymbalyuk is moving and sincere ... So if you have a preference for the 1869 ur-Boris, then Nagano and the Gothenburgers should suit you requirements rather well".
