Turina was one of the great musical poets of his native Andalusia, and his music is drenched in its colour, variety and dance. Jardins d'Andalousie illustrates his dazzlingly picturesque absorption of the seguidilla rhythm and an invocation of courtly scenes. Le Quartier de Santa Cruz is one of his longest piano works and depicts a dramatic narrative of love, duel, and drama in Seville, whilst En el cortijo visits the plains for a quartet of rural episodes of rich characterisation and virtuosity. Jordi Mas+Ã's on-going Turina cycle has received worldwide acclaim. Jordi Mas+Ã's wide repertoire, covering all periods and styles, with special emphasis on music of the twentieth century, has brought first performances of many piano works written for him by the foremost Spanish composers. He has recorded over forty discs, acclaimed by the most important publications. He is now recording the complete piano music by Joaqu+Ân Turina and D+Âªodat de S+Âªv+Âªrac for Naxos.
