At the beginning of May, the world premiere of Symphony of the Sagrada Familia, a piece in three movements by Richard Blackford (London, 1954), which is inspired by the forms and spirituality conveyed by Gaudí's temple and, specifically, by its three façades: Nativity, Passion, and Glory. Blackford, who lives between Mallorca and the British capital, has a very long career that took a sudden turn in 2014: he consolidated the career of a contemporary composer who you only have to listen to to realize that he is and sounds, also, like a classic. The proof, in addition to the Gaudí symphony, which is accompanied by a film ad hoc, could be Pietan either Voices of Exile, a composition that resonates especially these days, for sadly obvious reasons.
