In summary, Mussorgsky's Five Russian Folk Songs for men's chorus present a unique fusion of lyrical intensity and polyphonic, contrapuntal subtlety that must be considered one of the composer's crowning achievements. The vocal soloists and choruses have given with thankful tasks, so that the present new edition - the first that is based entirely on extant autographs - represents a truly valuable addition to the men's chorus repertoire.
