The Fourteenth Symphony was Shostakovich’s penultimate work. Dedicated to Benjamin Britten, it stands out from all the others by its unique form: its eleven movements, scored for soprano, bass, string orchestra and percussion, are structured around as many poems, sung in French, Russian, German and Spanish. They all evoke death in one way or another, responding to Shostakovich’s obsession with facing it head-on, coming to terms with it and accustom himself to it.
