Preface
The major
source is Boris
Christoff: La Vita, La Voce, L’Arte (1996) by Carlo Curami and Maurizio
Modugno, translated into Bulgarian by Neli Radanova-Kusheva (1998). Where
possible, the information has been silently corrected or augmented by online
research. Most of the figures below must not be taken as final; they are merely
as accurate as it is possible to make them at present. Sometimes it’s not clear
for how many performances a certain production with Boris lasted, sometimes
it’s hard to decide whether or not it was a concert performance, and sometimes the
date, the program or the cast is obviously incomplete or wrong. There isn’t
much help about any of these issues. Information on the Web is scarce and far
from reliable. I have had to make a number of informed guesses, but I have kept
silent about them in order not to encumber the text (and the figures). Question
marks and/or red colour indicate matters that cannot, at present, be resolved.

Notes of Explanation
The term “radio”
refers to concert performances of operas in radio studios, sometimes with
audience but more often without, occasionally broadcast live but nearly always
some time afterwards. The practice died out in the early 70s, but was quite
common in Italy
“Oratorio” is
a collective term for vocal works in which Boris was one of the soloists. Most
of these are religious in nature, but the term also includes secular works like
the Ninth Symphony. “Arias/songs” denotes all orchestral concerts in which
Boris appeared as a soloist, sometimes alone and sometimes with other singers. Occasionally
he sang but a single aria, although this usually was a substantial piece, a
whole scene really, like the Death of Boris or Philip’s soliloquy, but most of
the times he sang at least three or four arias/songs. On one exceptional
occasion, his 1951 radio concert in Baden Baden with Ernst Bour (fortunately
for posterity it was recorded in decent sound), Boris performed no fewer than
11 arias. “Chamber concerts” means recitals with piano accompaniment. They
concentrated almost exclusively on the lieder repertoire.
“Excerpts”
includes arias or scenes from operas (or oratorio) which Boris did sing
complete at least once, for example “Come dal ciel precipita” from Verdi’s Macbeth or the Act II finale of La forza del
The rest
should be self-explanatory.

REPERTOIRE
The repertoire
of Boris Christoff consists of three major divisions: (1) operatic roles; (2)
bass parts in symphonic/choral works; and (3) arias and songs that he sang at
concerts. They are sufficiently different to be treated separately.
OPERA (56)
This list
includes every role which Boris did sing complete at least once in his career.
Note that this means the inclusion of some roles he never sang on the stage,
for example Banco in Verdi’s Macbeth
which he performed but once in a concert on the radio. On the other hand, parts
which he prepared (e.g. Leporello in Mozart’s Don Giovanni) or recorded complete (e.g. Varlaam in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov), but never performed
onstage or on-air, are not included. The term “radio”, in addition to its usual
meaning discussed above, is occasionally used here to denote concert
performances that were given neither in radio studios nor broadcast. Note that
the number of roles is 58. In two cases – Borodine and Hindemith – Boris sang
two roles at the same production.
