It Is [A] Fully Illuminated Story That Richard Taruskin, In The Pathbreaking Essays Collected Here, Unfolds Around Modest Musorgsky, Russia'S Greatest National Composer. . . . [Taruskin'S] Tour De Force Comes With A Frontal Attack On All The Sovietbred Truisms That For A Century Have Refashioned Musorgsky From What The Evidence Suggests He Wasan Aristocrat With An Early Clinical Interest In Truetolife Musical Portraiture And A Later Penchant For Drinking Partners Who Were Both Folklore Buffs And Political Reactionaries Democrat.'From The Forewordincorporating Both New And Nowclassic Essays, This Book For The First Time Sets The Vocal Works Of Modest Musorgsky In A Fully Detailed Cultural, Political, And Historical Context. From This Perspective, Richard Taruskin Revises Fundamentally The Composer'S Historical And Artistic Image, In Particular Debunking The Centuryold Dogmas Of Vladimir Stasov, Musorgsky'S First Biographer. Here The Author Offers The Most Complete Explanation Of The Revision Of The Opera Boris Godunov, Compares It To Contemporaneous Operas By Chaikovsky And Rimskykorsakov, Advances A Revisionary Characterization Of Khovanshchina As An Aristocratic Tragedy Informed By A Pessimistic View Of History, Discusses Musorgsky'S Use Of Folklore, And, Focusing On Sorochintsi Fair, Brings To A Climax His Refutation Of Musorgsky As A Protorevolutionary Populist. The Epilogue Is A Survey Of Revisionary Productions Of Musorgsky'S Works At Home During The Gorbachev Era.
