Espada, Roscoe, Mena - Turina: Canto a Sevilla (2014)

Posted By: peotuvave

This is the latest disc in Juanjo Mena’s ongoing series of Spanish orchestral music with the BBC Philharmonic and is his second featuring the works by Joaquín Turina, one of the leading Spanish composers of his generation.

The works recorded here are filled with the inspiration Turina found in his native Andalusia and particularly the city of Seville. La procesión del Rocío, Turina’s first orchestral work, was inspired by memories of a procession held in the gypsy quarter of Seville and is filled with lively dance rhythms. Canto a Sevilla, a song cycle with orchestra, is a heartfelt tribute to Seville and its culture, taking on themes such as the vibrant Easter Procession, Seville beautiful ornamental fountains, and even a ghost that haunts the streets at night. Danzas gitanas, a collection of Andalusian gypsy dances, introduces a nocturnal atmosphere into a style normally characterised by bright orchestral colours and extravagant rhythmic intricacies. The Rapsodia sinfónica, one of his last works, represents a more mature, reflective composer. The use of piano and string orchestra limits the available palette of colours, Turina instead deciding to focus on the intimate relationship between the ensemble and soloist, a role here filled by Martin Roscoe.

Composer: Joaquin Turina
Performer: Martin Roscoe, Maria Espada
Conductor: Juanjo Mena
Orchestra/Ensemble: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

Reviews: Joaquín Turina had a lucky encounter with a senior colleague in 1907. The composer Isaac Albéniz wasn't impressed by Turina's, polite, French-sounding Piano Quintet. He made Turina promise never to write anything like it again, urging him instead to base his subsequent music on Andalusian folksong. Turina took the hint. And how. You can feel the heat. The effects and mannerisms would sound clichéd if you didn't realise that Turina, along with de Falla, pioneered this style. Sforzando chords in cellos and basses. Muted trumpets. Modal harmonies and oscillating figures in high strings. Extravagant percussion. All present. Crucially, the music never sounds too polite or well-manicured; you're always slightly fearful that the brasher moments will lead to breakdown and collapse. Juanjo Mena's second Turina anthology contains several entertaining rarities. The composer's first orchestral work, La Procesión del Rocio, builds to a clangorous, gaudy climax. It's great fun, but perhaps the least significant work in this anthology. The five Danzas gitanas, better known in Turina's piano arrangement, are pungent, sultry miniatures. Martin Roscoe is a game soloist in the late Rapsodia sinfónicafor piano and strings. It's irresistible stuff and, at barely nine minutes, you're left wishing it was twice as long.
