Jordi Maso - Turina:Piano Music 11

Joaqu�n Turina loved to paint musical pictures of his immediate surroundings,and this 11th volume in Jordi Mas�'s complete edition of Turina's piano works features music inspired by various aspects of everyday life. Verbena madrile�a is a brightly coloured portrait of a feast-day in Madrid, while En la zapater�a describes the shoemaker's tasks in vignettes ranging from Wagnerian drama to balletic pirouettes. Also included are the cinema-inspired Linterna m�gica and the Radio Madrid suite with its 'broadcasts' from different places in Spain, each miniature a brief flash of inspiration from deep within Turina's fertile, creative spirit. Our edition of Joaqu�n Turina's piano music played by Jordi Mas� has received wide acclaim over it's previous volumes, with volume 10 (8.573183) seeing the Gramophone magazine dmiring how ...Mas�, admirably recorded, takes everything in his stride, responding effortlessly to every virtuoso and entrenched national challenge. ClassicsToday.com summed up the values of this collection in their review of volume 6 (8.572141): Jordi Mas� has done excellent work in this ongoing series, and he's in excellent form here. He makes everything sound natural,rhythmically pointed, and builds the climaxes without banging. Turina was, notoriously, a gentle soul who liked his music played with elegance, and Mas� does just that, but without forgetting the muscle lying beneath the surface. Excellent sonics complete this wholly winning package.
