The tenth volume in Jordi Masos groundbreaking series of the complete piano music focuses on the years of Joaquin Turinas maturity and the works he called a Ciclo pianistico. El castillo de Almodovar (Almodovar Castle) and Rincones de Sanlucar (Corners of Sanlucar) are both memorably evocative and descriptive. Elsewhere Turina takes classic forms, such as the toccata, fugue, partita and prelude and brings to them a more abstract but richly nuanced sensibility. The previous volume in this series has brought considerable acclaim: In Maso you have an ideally committed and affectionate master of the idiom, finely recorded. (Gramophone, on 8.572915)
