In the relatively sparse Spanish repertoire for Piano and Violin El Poema De Una Sanluqueña is considered by many a key work of 20th century Spanish chamber music. Turina was a frequent visitor to the seaside town of Sanlúcar in his youth and his love for the town shines through in these four movements. The work Is dedicated to the ‘muchachas’ the girls of Sanlúcar who it is said ‘don’t get married’ because the boys of Sanlúcar marry outsiders. Turina wrote the work for ‘those beautiful Andalusian girls living in a sad and never-ending dream.’ Unlike earlier works of Turina this one was not descriptive but rather suggestive of an emotional state. The piece requires thegreatest technical expertise of both Violinist and pianist as well as sensitivity and humour. Joaquin Turina is often contrasted with Albéniz and Granados those two proponents of a Spanish national style. Turina strove to write music of a European standard in the conventional major forms. In his work it is possible to hear the influence of Turina’s years studying in Paris as well as his native Spain combined with the composer’s own unique Voice.

Eduardo Toldra (1895-1962) was a forefront figure of Catalan music and an all-round complete artist - he was a composer a violinist and a conductor. His emblematic work Vistas Al Mar is a masterpiece for strings. A noteworthy feature of the work is the transparent luminosity of the outer movements and the contemplative nocturne second movement which depicts a warm calm atmosphere and must be one of the high points of this composer's output. This is the score for this work.

Three Interludes For Orchestra by Benet Casablancas was commissioned by Fundacion Autor and the Spanish Association of Symphonic Orchestras (AEOS) for its World Premiere in the 2012-2013 season. The score consists of three movements - Pastorale (Tranquillo) Scherzo (Con moto) and Memento e Corale (Lentissimo Ampio e tenuto) - and has an approximate duration of 14 minutes. The spaciousness and transparency of its textures the clearness of its harmony and a general calm and quiet tone of the first and final parts set a contrast with the vigour and rhythmical vividness of its central scherzo. During the course of the piece the shape of chamber writing coexists with the greatness of orchestral peaks. The last section embraces a lower and expressive tone which ends with a great chorale that will lead to a more contemplative coda which fades into silence. Sadness for the devastating tsunami that struck Japan on those same days was present in the mind of the author at the time of writing this movement. It shows the accused dramatic quality (especially in the third piece) which dominate the orchestral writing of the composer from Sabadell enriched by a pitch atmosphere of neo-impressionistic quality and a healthy rhythmical energy. The concert version contributed with intensity and performance depth which we hope to deepen in future performances and which motivated the greeting of Casablancas. - German Gan Audio Clasica
