Born in Andalusia, Joaquin Turina is the only great Spanish composer of his generation to have written as much for the guitar. His pieces find a balance between the popular influences of the various traditions of flamenco and the erudition of the great European music, on which the wind of impressionism was then blowing. Turina gives us a subtle and colorful music that arouses direct and powerful emotions.
Attached to the great tradition of the Spanish guitar, he visited the repertoire by reconciling the expressive power of the romantics and the vocabulary of today's guitar, with a concern for historical consciousness and spontaneity. Her approach and her lively play, with sensual sonority, allure her audiences every time.
