Jordi Maso - Turina:Piano Music Vol. 12

This penultimate volume of Joaqu�n Turina's complete piano works features his programmatic pieces: music inspired by local scenes or texts by the late-Romantic poet and author Gustavo Adolfo B�cquer (1836-70). The tragicomedy Recuerdos de mi rinc�n is a light-hearted divertissement with twelve mini-scenes that portray local characters from Turina's Madrid neighbourhood, while La Venta de los Gatos brims with truly inspired and beautiful moments. El Cristo de la Calavera further reveals Turina's deft touch for dramatic and picturesque style while faithfully adapting B�cquer's story to include every detail. Originally composed for a stage drama, Navidad is filled with Christmas carols and traditional melodies.
