Joaquin Turina 

Serenata - String Quartet, "de la guitarra" - Las musas de Andalucia

Quartet Sine Nomine

Maria Bayo (Soprano)

Ricardo Requejo (Piano)

Turina, like no other musician of his time, concentrated his efforts on the systematic development of an «Andalusian» style, which is reflected in the dance rhythms and folk colors in his works. Las Musas de Andalucía, Op. 93, is a nine-part series of chamber music miniatures for various ensembles which exhibits direct impressionistic influences. The String Quartet in D Major, Op. 4, was strongly influenced by César Franck, and the Serenata, Op. 87, is a particularly dramatic setting of folk elements. Spanish soprano Maria Bayo and pianist Ricardo Requejo are joined by the Quartet Sine Nomine, one of Switerland’s leading chamber ensembles. This CD is the second in a series devoted to Spanish composer Joaquín Turina.
