About

To commemorate the 75th anniversary year of Turina’s death, this album presents some of the composer’s most admired works heard in arrangements for strings, performed by Spanish ensemble Concerto Málaga directed by Gil de Gálvez. Two of his best-known works – La oración del torero (‘The Prayer of the Bullfighter’) and Orgía, from Danzas fantásticas – open and close the programme. Other examples include a sinuous Andalusian Tango and a rare example drawn from his incidental music, Aparición del Arcángel.

Reviews

“…An interesting collection of unfamiliar music played with conviction …”

Nick Barnard – Musicwebinternational.com – 9 June 2024

“… This is a particularly enjoyable entry, with the unfamiliar music played with both feeling and musicality by Concerto Malaga.”

Barry Forshaw – cdchoice.co.uk – 27 May 2024

“… an engaging programme …” ****

Jeremy Pound – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – July 2024

“…The Concerto Málaga string orchestra with twelve members is bases in Andalusia. Conductor and violinist Gil de Gálvez leads it. In interpretations that are more subtle than extremely evocative of Spanish color, they offer the predominantly short movements with charm and elegant presentation. Despite the uniform instrumentation throughout, the different characters become clear.” ****

Uwe Krusch – Pizzicato.lu – 13 April 2024
