Synopsis: Barcelona, August, 1914. World War I has just broken out, and Karl and Gloria meet on a ship that will never depart. He is a young man from a wealthy family who is trying to escape from a life in which he feels trapped. She is a unionist full of ideals. In turbulent times, marked by intrigue and social change, theirs is a love story that transcends the differences that set them apart, in a city striving to live the impossible dream of remaining neutral.
ABOUT THE MUSIC: “Beautiful dramatic creation in which the composer applies music to the historical context and music that encompasses all the young protagonists. The first is clear and obvious; the second much more sophisticated and more nuanced, expressing the desire for freedom and a better future, with elegance.” MundoBSO
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE: The music was recorded with the Kiev Symphonic Orchestra recorded and mixed by Marc Blanes at BSO Superestudio, Barcelona.
