Symphony no. 14

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Asmik Grigorian & Matthias Goerne & Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France & Mikko Franck

Symphony No. 14 is the fourteenth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1969. Scored for two vocal soloists and a small chamber ensemble, it functions as a song cycle setting poems about death and is characterised by sparse, concentrated textures, declamatory vocal writing and a pared-down orchestral palette that situates it in Shostakovich's late-period exploration of more intimate, austere forms.
