Symphony no. 13

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink

Symphony No. 13 is a choral symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1962. Scored for bass soloist, men's chorus and orchestra, it features declamatory vocal writing, sombre orchestral colours and abrupt, often satirical gestures that confront contemporary social and political themes, representing a confrontational episode in Shostakovich's symphonic output.
