David Bowie's Blackstar, live in Barcelona

<p dir="ltr"><span>No matter <strong>David Bowie</strong> died on January 10 last year; his music keeps evolving and shining on in new shapes and textures. Bowie&rsquo;s most recent album, &ldquo;<strong>Blackstar</strong>,&rdquo; as well as his all-time classics &ldquo;Space Oddity&rdquo; and &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s Dance,&rdquo; were brought back to life on Thursday 14 July by the <strong>Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra</strong> (<strong>OBC</strong>).</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Directed by the American composer <strong>Evan Zipory</strong> and with <strong>Maya Beiser</strong> as the soloist cello, the orchestra played Bowie&rsquo;s last record from beginning to end. &ldquo;I realized his voice is in the same singing range than a cello, and that his last record was very colorful and so much like an orchestra already,&rdquo; said Zipory after addressing the public at Barcelona&rsquo;s <strong>Auditori</strong>.</span></p> / Alan Ruiz Terol
