More than 400 songs have been recorded from his antique phonograph, which have become a valuable legacy. Inspired by folk singers, Mitrofan Pyatnitsky was able to fulfill his dream of showing a real Russian song on the concert stage, such as it has sounded for centuries.

The first concert of the choir took place on March 2, 1911 in Moscow on the stage of the Noble Assembly. Now the collective represents not only the singing of peasants, but also dancing, and also has its own orchestra. Performers selected from the people conquer with their talent and do not need special training. The Pyatnitsky Choir became a State Collective in 1936.
