Songs (Complete, incl. Songs and Dances of Death)

Boris Christoff / Georges Tzipine / L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

1950s Mono recordings. Piano accompanied by Alexander Labinsky.

Top choice. The proverbial classic. 'Wonderful, virile character from Christoff... he's just so natural in this repertoire.' His deep, flexible bass is perfect for inhabiting the wide variety of moods in Mussorgsky's songs.
