S. Barber Adagio for strings op. 11
D. Shostakovich Symphony No. 14 for soprano, bass, strings and percussion op. 135

Two compositions that tell two similar musical moments, the elegy of death. In the intimate lyricism of Samuel Barber’s composition is one of the most important symphonic moments of the Russian composer Shostakovich, with a symphony based on poems by the four great writers Federico Garcia Lorca, Rainer Maria Rilke, Guillaume Apollinaire and
Wilhelm Küchelbecker.
