Discography

Khaykin is noted for his two critically acclaimed recordings of Khovanshchina: a 1946 edition with Mark Reizen, and a 1972 version with Irina Arkhipova. His record of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's little known early first symphony received good notices. Khaikin also recorded several operas and ballets by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, notably a Eugene Onegin with Galina Vishnevskaya and Sergei Lemeshev.

Other opera recordings include:

  • Mikhail Glinka; A Life for the Tsar (in the Ivan Susanin version), 1960.
  • Alexander Dargomyzhsky; Stone Guest with the USSR Radio Chorus and Symphony, 1959.
  • Anton Rubinstein; The Demon.
  • Kirill Molchanov; The Unknown Soldier.
  • Näcip Cihanov; Musa Dzhalil (opera-poem based on the life of Soviet Tatar poet Musa Cälil)
  • Vlasov and Fere; The Witch (based on the story by Chekhov).
