In 1962 Shostakovich finished work on his Thirteenth Symphony, inspired by a Yevtushenko poem about the massacre of Jews at Babi Yar, and set about orchestrating Musorgsky’s Songs and Dances of Death. Four years later, he was greatly troubled by the Warsaw Pact’s military intervention in Czechoslovakia, which provided the direct impulse for the Fourteenth Symphony, drawing on poetry by Lorca, Apollinaire, Küchelbecker and Rilke. As he confessed in a letter to a friend, ‘Everything I have written up to now over these long years has been preparation for this work’. So it seems like Shostakovich had been gearing up his life long to an even more forceful protest against the abomination of death than the one that Musorgsky’s screamed out in his songs.
