The great Ukrainian-born Jewish bass Mark Reizen (1895-1992) sings the 5th act aria ("Here, on this holy spot") of Dosifey, leader of the Old Believers, in Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina.
Taken from a late '50s Mosfilm version of the opera, this video captures Reizen towards the end of his distinguished stage career. Unfortunately, the aria and following scene were rather severely abridged for the film, but the sonorous voice is in top form, and (as always) Reizen's singing and pre
sence are absolutely authoritative.

This is one of the greatest opera films of all time, made by Vera Stroyeva, the director who made the brilliant Boris Godunov with Pirogov, Kozlovsky and Nelepp. This Khovanshchina came out on VHS only and still has not been released on DVD. A shame. You can find rare copies of the video floating around on eBay.

I have called Corinth Films, who released it on VHS. They say someone else owns the copyright and they cannot re-release it on DVD. I have written to Mosfilm and received no answer. Maybe an interlibrary loan from your public library.
