Turina: Works for Strings

Roberto Giordano (soloist)

Concerto Málaga, Gil de Gálvez

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 that honour the colour, richness and vivacity of the originals. 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.

La Oracion del Torero op. 34; Danza andaluza op. 8 Nr. 2 "Tango"; Talia: Naranjos y Olivos & Caliope: Himno aus Las Musas de Andalucia op. 93; Serenata op. 87; El Jueves Santa a medianoche aus Suite pintoresca "Sevilla" op. 2; Danza fantastica op. 22 Nr. 3 "Orgia" für Klavier & Streichorchester
