| Naxos | The second generation of Spanish nationalist composers, following the example of Albéniz and Granados, had two principal figures, Falla and Turina, often seen as opposites, when it would be much better to understand them as complementary. Actually their interpretation of nationalism was very different; they both spent time in Paris, the cultural melting-pot of the period, but Turina was to accomplish a body of work that was much more rooted in formal traditions, with full attention, for example, to chamber music, while Falla explored freer paths. Joaquín Turina was born in Seville on 9th December 1882. His first musical studies were in the Andalusian capital with García Torres (harmony and counterpoint) and Enrique Rodríguez (piano), and in Madrid with José Tragó. His long stay in Paris, from 1905 to 1914, was decisive in his education. There he continued his piano apprenticeship with Moszkowski and studied composition with d’Indy. This was a time for the absorption of influences and for human contacts, since Turina then began his friendship with Debussy, Ravel and Florent Schmitt. His first works had a certain modernist tendency, but the advice of Albéniz encouraged him to have recourse to Andalusian popular sources. |
