Symphony no. 14 in G minor, op. 135 / King Lear - musical fragments, op. 58a

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Государственный cимфонический оркестр Министерства культуры СССР & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky & Ленинградский камерный оркестр & Eduard Serov

Symphony No. 14 in G minor, Op. 135 is a symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1969. Scored for soprano and bass soloists with a reduced chamber orchestra, it comprises a sequence of short, text-driven movements characterised by spare, austere orchestration and stark vocal declamation, and forms part of the composer's late period reflecting a preoccupation with mortality and a move towards concision and bleak expression.
