"Rodrigo and his wife Victoria stayed silent for many years about the inspiration for the second movement, and thus the popular belief grew that it was inspired by the bombing of Guernica in 1937.

It was composed in 1939 in Paris."
This reminds me a lot of "I Am Sitting in a Room", a piece of process music that slowly goes from understandable, to vaguely inhuman, to alien, to something else.

I totally agree it reminds me of Sitting In A Room.

It is supposedly structured around the loss of his unborn child.
It is quite beautiful.
