Symphony no. 3 "The First of May" / Symphony no. 14

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Larissa Gogolevskaja & Sergey Aleksashkin & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Mariss Jansons

Symphony No. 3 "The First of May" / Symphony No. 14 is a recording of two symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich, originally composed in 1929 and 1969 respectively. The pairing contrasts the Third's early-Soviet choral-orchestral textures and terse modernist gestures with the Fourteenth's late-period, chamber-like orchestration and sombre vocal meditations on mortality, illustrating Shostakovich's trajectory from youthful public rhetoric to introspective engagement with existential themes.
