EMI's 1977 recording of a conflation of Mussorgsky's two versions of Boris Godunov suffers from an excess of restraint and propriety. The fault lies largely with Jerzy Semkow, who conducts the opera with Classical reserve. He seems unwilling to urge the orchestra or singers to produce a full-blooded fortissimo, or to attack the notes with ferocity when called for. His soft-edged, careful approach is exactly wrong for the opera, which needs a rough-hewn, raw power, and a propulsive dramatic energy to drive its episodic scenes into a meaningful whole.
