Review by Roscoe Dash

Album Review: Монолог Пимена by М. Д. Михайлов If you’re into classical music with a dramatic edge, Монолог Пимена is one of those albums that just grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. Released under the Soviet label Апрелевский Завод, this record dives deep into the operatic genius of М. Мусоргский. Conducted by А. И. Орлов and performed by the stellar Симфонический оркестр ВРК, it’s a solid piece of USSR-era artistry that still resonates today. Now, I’ll be honest—this isn’t background music for chilling on a Sunday afternoon. This is the kind of album you sit down with, maybe pour yourself a cup of tea (or something stronger), and really listen to. One track that stands out is, unsurprisingly, the titular Монолог Пимена из оперы "Борис Годунов." It’s haunting, rich, and feels like stepping into another world. The orchestra builds up slowly, almost like a storm rolling in, and then—boom! You’re hit with these deep, soulful tones that make you feel every ounce of Pimen’s introspection. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hear someone’s inner monologue set to music, this is it. Another moment that stuck with me was how seamless everything flows together. Sure, there’s only one main track listed here, but the way the orchestra carries the weight of Musorgsky’s composition is unreal. It’s not flashy or overdone; instead, it’s deliberate and raw, like the musicians are telling you a story without needing words. That’s the magic of opera, right? You don’t always need to understand Russian to get the vibe—it’s all in the delivery. What makes this album special is its authenticity. There’s no pretense, no trying too hard to impress modern audiences. It’s straight-up Soviet-era craftsmanship, unpolished in the best possible way. Listening to it feels like uncovering a hidden gem from a time capsule. Here’s the thing though—while I love diving into albums like this, it did make me wonder: would Musorgsky have approved of this interpretation? Like, if he popped into 2023 and heard it, would he nod approvingly or start scribbling revisions? Either way, I think he’d appreciate the passion behind it. So yeah, if you’re a fan of classical music or just want to explore some legit USSR vibes, give Монолог Пимена a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself lost in thought halfway through—it’s kinda inevitable.
