  1. Thank you so much for this site and especially for posting "Boris Goudenow" by Mattheson. Only Cyrillic characters, - I never would have been able to find these wonderful videos. I saw the production in Hamburg (Germany) and it is a fine exampel of the revival of baroque gesture. Best regards!
