Symphony No. 14

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Galina Vishnevskaya & Mark Reshetin & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России & Mstislav Rostropovich

Symphony No. 14 is the fourteenth symphony by Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович, composed in 1969. Scored for two vocal soloists and a reduced orchestra, it sets a sequence of poems about death and employs stark, concise motifs, sparse textures and chamber forces characterised by the composer's late-period focus on mortality and a condensed musical language.
