Cuando Gérard Grisey afirmó en su comentario a Les espaces acoustiques que su credo consistía en «ne plus composer avec des notes, mais avec des sons» –no componer [música] con notas, sino con sonidos–, estaba lanzando de forma consciente un dardo contra Pierre Boulez, autoridad indiscutible de la vanguardia francesa e internacional. Que el IRCAM –la institución musical fundada en 1970 por Boulez– se convirtiera en apenas una década en un bastión de las jóvenes generaciones espectralistas, justificaría sobradamente la inscripción en mayúsculas de su nombre en la historia de esta corriente, si no fuera porque el refinamiento tímbrico de su obra merece, por sí mismo, una reconsideración de las palabras de Grisey. El segundo programa sinfónico de este FOCUS continúa su doble diálogo –entre el presente y el pasado, entre Francia y España– con la inclusión de sendas obras de Manuel de Falla y Paul Dukas, así como dos muestras de dos destacados autores españoles afincados en París –el donostiarra Ramon Lazkano y el barcelonés Hèctor Parra– cuya obra se nutre de algunos de los postulados y actitudes que definen la corriente espectralista –o post espectralista– en nuestros días.

When Gérard Grisey stated in his commentary to Les espaces acoustiques that his credo was "ne plus composer avec des notes, mais avec des sons" – not to compose [music] with notes, but with sounds – he was consciously throwing a dart against Pierre Boulez, the indisputable authority of the French and international avant-garde. That IRCAM –the musical institution founded in 1970 by Boulez– became a bastion of young spectralists generations in just a decade, would more than justify the inscription of his name in history in capital letters. of this current, if it were not for the fact that the timbre refinement of his work deserves, by itself, a reconsideration of Grisey's words. The second symphonic program of this FOCUS continues its double dialogue –between the present and the past, between France and Spain– with the inclusion of two works by Manuel de Falla and Paul Dukas, as well as two shows by two prominent Spanish authors based in Paris – Ramon Lazkano from San Sebastian and Hèctor Parra from Barcelona – whose work draws on some of the postulates and attitudes that define the current of spectralism – or post-spectralism – today.
