The colourful folk melodies and rhythms of Spain knit seamlessly with twentieth-century French compositional sophistication in Joaquín Turina’s chamber works. Born in Seville, Andalucia, the young composer went to study in Paris in 1905, where he was greatly attracted to the forward-looking style of the likes of Debussy—however, his musical course was altered when he encountered countrymen Falla and Albéniz, who encouraged him to write in a style that fully embraced his Andalucian musical heritage. Later in life the composer himself explained ‘my music is the expression of the feeling of a true Sevillian who did not know Seville until he left it’. The acclaimed Nash Ensemble here demonstrate what a satisfying artistic homecoming he made. “Lawrence Power’s viola and Paul Watkins’s cello shine in, respectively, the Escena Andaluza and the songful tenor/bass melodies of the trio. It would be hard to imagine more compelling performances.” Sunday Times, 4th March 2012 “Congratulations are certainly in order to the Nash Ensemble and Hyperion for this excellent CD of chamber music by the admirable Andalusian composer...the performances throughout by these outstanding musicians, who are clearly wholly committed to Turina's music, are deeply impressive.” International Record Review, May 2012 “Bravo to the Nash Ensemble for championing these chamber works by Joaquin Turina...He could scarcely have imagined that one day an ensemble would produce an entire CD of his music but the Spanish traits by no means become wearing or predictable.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2012 “the Nash Ensemble's present collection includes some of his best works in [the chamber music] field, making this a highly recommendable disc for anyone who enjoys early 20th-century Spanish music. Everything here is performed with great warmth and a real sense of belief in the music - Marianne Thorsen and Ian Brown's eloquent and characterful account of the Sonata espagnola” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Turina - Music for Violin and Piano
Complementing his highly praised Naxos series of Turina’s piano music, Jordi Masó joins Eva León to present Turina’s two violin sonatas, the first enriching Classical form with Romantic fantasy, the second notable for its happy blend of the traditional, the descriptive and the personal. Euterpe conjures up the joyful festivities of the composer’s native city, Seville, while the Opus 28 Fantasia is a key work of Spanish chamber music. The Classical Variations dazzlingly transform a sorrowful theme into a Cuban guajira, seguidillas, a tango and virtuoso zapateado. | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
