THis all-Russian program features two epic compositions. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 14 is an emotive work for soprano, bass, and string orchestra with a battery of percussion, comprising 11 linked settings of poems that present a gripping discussion of our own mortality. This work pairs well with Ravel's colorful orchestration of Mussorgsky's famous work, originally written for solo piano, which helped to make famous the sights and sounds of Kiev.
