    Turina was a Spanish composer who, along with Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albéniz, revitalized his nation's music in the early 20th century.

    When he was a small boy, one of Joaquín Turina's favorite toys was a small accordion, and music was always his favorite subject at school. He studied piano and theory in his hometown of Seville and made his debut there as a pianist at age 14. His success led him to Madrid, where he tried to get his opera La sulamita (c. 1900) and his zarzuela Fea y con gracia (1904) performed. The latter was staged to no great success, but Turina showed his music to many prominent musicians and struck up a friendship with Manuel de Falla.

    After studying piano at the Madrid Conservatory with José Tragó, Turina went to Paris, where he worked with Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum from 1905 to 1914. He also took some piano lessons with Moritz Moszkowski. During his years in Paris he was encouraged by the great French composers of that time – Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and his teacher d'Indy – and wrote a few works in the French style of the day. After the premiere of his Piano Quintet, Op. 1 in 1907, Turina went to a café with Isaac Albéniz and de Falla. They convinced Turina to write in a more consciously Spanish style. As Turina put it, "[w]e were three Spaniards gathered together in that corner of Paris and it was our duty to fight bravely for the national music of our country."

    One of his first truly Spanish works was La procesión del Rocío, written in France in 1912 and premiered by the Madrid Symphony the following year. This portrait of a religious festival helped establish Turina's reputation, and by the time he returned to Spain with Falla in 1914, he was already recognized as a leading Spanish composer. Turina took a post as choirmaster at the Teatro Real, a position he held until the theater closed in 1925. He continued to be very active in Spain's musical life, serving as pianist of the Quinteto de Madrid, conducting opera and orchestral performances, and writing musical criticism for El Debate and other publications. He also composed works like the two books of Mujeres Españolas for piano (1917, 1932), a series of portraits of Spanish women, and La oración del torero (The Bullfighter's Prayer, 1925). In 1920 he wrote two of his most popular pieces, the Danzas Fantásticas for orchestra or piano, and the Sinfonía Sevillana, which won first prize in a competition for a musical picture of life in Seville.

    In 1930 he was appointed professor of composition at the Madrid Conservatory. He and his family suffered a certain amount of persecution by the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, but Turina was able to carry on with his musical activities both during and after the war. He founded the General Music Commission of the Ministry of Education, of which he served as commissioner in 1941. He became a member of the Spanish Academy of Arts, was awarded the Grand Cross of Alfonso X the Wise, and died in early 1949 after a long struggle with cancer.

    It's always salutary to find you have to revise your opinion, and it has happened to me with the latest release in Claves' Turina cycle. I wasn't desperately impressed with Volume 1 (CD-50-9215), a motley collection of rather uninspiring orchestral pieces, limply played by the Orquestra Ciudad de Granada under Juan de Udaeta. Volume II has apparently been held up, and I haven't yet heard Volume III, so I sat down to Volume IV expecting to be charmed but ever-so-slightly bored, as had happened with that first instalment. From the very opening of the Piano Quartet, Op. 67, I knew it was going to be different this time.


    I had been looking to those earlier pieces for confirmation of Georg-Albrecht Eckle's claim in the notes that Turina had penetrated to the essence of Andalusian music, that he sought 'to portray the "spirit", the atmosphere, the landscape, and the emotions of a culture'. All I heard, instead, was a sort of picture-postcard Spanishry – attractive enough, but hardly memorable. Now here's the proof that Eckle was right after all. The Piano Quartet, written in 1933 when Turina was 51, could not be anything but Spanish, but its gestures are pared down to the bone and the emotions understated in a way that shows Turina really now knew what he had to say. Instead of the mawkish sentimentality of, say, the Rapsodia Sinfónica, here is quiet but genuine passion, expressed, for example, in the unexpected stamp of a piano chord that suddenly enlivens the music. The string writing is often oblique, hesitant, atmospheric – and then it will tumble into a rapturous phrase that, for a moment, sets the pace rattling along again. Its dimensions are as modest as its tone is reserved: it's barely over a quarter-of-an-hour in length, although its language is so convincing that it strikes me as longer. This is easily the best piece of Turina I have yet come across and single-handedly it can sustain his reputation.

    Quiet how far he had come is underlined by the two works it shares this disc with. The earlier of the two, the Piano Quintet of 1907, is overtly indebted to French models – hardly surprisingly, since Turina was studying with d'Indy in Paris at the time. It is an earnest and slightly impersonal work, more attractive than memorable, obviously by a Spaniard but one who wasn't too sure of his own personality. The two-movement Scène Andalouse, Op. 7, dates from 1912 and is scored for the unusual combination of solo viola and piano quintet. It's overt, unashamed programme music, intended to divert and delight. That it manages. Both works reveal that Turina's passage to the mastery of the Piano Quartet was a development from the rather obvious emotionalism of a Franck to the inspired obliquity of a Debussy.

    The Menuhin Festival Piano Quartet may sound like an ad hoc group brought together for a one-off occasion but in truth it's a stable ensemble that has been playing since 1989. And they play extremely well, in textures often thin enough to expose insecurity. Instead, the tone is firm and the performances full-blooded and committed. They are matched in quality by the two musicians who join them in the early works, Christina Busch and Anna Barbara Dütschler, whom I suspect to be a scion of the house of Claves.

    To my surprise, then, a release well worth investigation.
