Strauss's Symphonia Domestica

Robert Gerhard's Symphony No. 4 "New York" captures the dynamism and complexity of the North American city through an innovative orchestral language full of contrasts. The work combines vibrant rhythms, surprising textures and introspective moments that, emerging from silence, sketch an urban landscape. The symphony reflects the Catalan composer's fascination with metropolitan life, while also placing him among the most decisive creators of the 20th century, a figure the Auditori wishes to honour this year.
