{"product_id":"9780521369763","title":"Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov : Myths, Realities, Reconsiderations (Cambridge Opera Handbooks)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaryl Emerson (a literary specialist) and Robert William Oldani (a music historian) take a comprehensive look at the most famous Russian opera, Modest Musorgsky's Boris Godunov. The result is both a historical study of a famous work and an interpretative piece of scholarship. The topics discussed include: the 'Boris Tale' in history; Karamzin's history and Pushkin's drama as literary sources; Musorgsky's innovations as a librettist and as a theorist of the sung Russian word; the strange story of the opera's composition and revision; its first productions at home and abroad; and an in-depth musical analysis. In the process, several often-met errors in Musorgsky scholarship are clarified and corrected. A final chapter speculates on the opera's themes of political murder, guilt and legitimacy - so important to Russian literary and national identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - and the new role the 'Boris plot' and its composer might come to play in more recent phases of Russian cultural life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42566460309579,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1319.17,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780521369763-1.jpg?v=1783344069","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/th\/products\/9780521369763","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
