Mussorgsky's last opera dramatizes the conspiracy of Prince
Khovansky against Tsar Peter the Great, and the epic ends with the
exile, murder and suicide of all the power groups of old Russia.
When Musorgsky died in 1881, it was unfinished, and Rimsky-Korsakov
completed it; Ravel and Stravinsky made another version for
Diaghilev in 1911; in 1959 Shostakovich went back to the original
and rediscovered a masterpiece. Caryl Emerson offers a provocative
reading of Mussorgsky's achievement. Gerard McBurney relates the
non-European inspiration in the score to Mussorgsky's conception of
history, while Rosamund Bartlett describes the cultural impetus for
his historical vision. Contents: Apocalypse Then, Now, and (for Us)
Never: Reflections on Musorgsky's Other Historical Opera, Caryl
Emerson; Musorgsky's Music of Time, Gerard McBurney;
'Khovanshchina' in Context, Rosamund Bartlett; Khovanshchina:
Libretto by Modest Musorgsky; The Khovansky Affair: English
translation by Carol Borah Palca.
