La RecensioneSchumann, Gerhard e Strauss in concerto a BarcellonaLa sala grande dell’Auditori di Barcellona ha ospitato, una settimana fa, un concerto dell’Orchestra Sinfonica di Barcellona e Nazionale della Catalogna, con un programma molto interessante e vario, che ha attirato un gran pubblico, da tutto esaurito.
