Catalunya’s Robert Gerhard was one of the most remarkable and mysterious composers of the twentieth century, still relatively unknown due to his exile in England and because part of his work remains to be discovered. This insightful review of his life and work deciphers the depth and idiosyncrasy –between the popular and the avant-garde– of a key figure in dodecaphonism and serialism, and an unsung pioneer of electronic music.
Appearances by: Quartet Gerhard, Oriol Pérez Treviño, Carlos Duque, Colin Benders, Jaume Radigales, Edmon Colomer
After the premiere of the documentary, we will enjoy the music of the quartet whose name pays tribute to a key author of dodecaphonism and serialism.
