Notes

Ancient Russian folk melodies; the traits of human life (joy, love, illness, poverty, death, religion); an aesthetic-musical realism elevated to compositional commitment. These are the ingredients present in Musorgsky's Lieder, already appreciated by Liszt and Debussy, now available in this box set.
