Joaquín Turina loved to paint musical pictures of his immediate surroundings, and this 11th volume in Jordi Masós complete edition of Turinas piano works features music inspired by various aspects of everyday life. Verbena madrileña is a brightly coloured portrait of a feast-day in Madrid, while En la zapatería describes the shoemakers tasks in vignettes ranging from Wagnerian drama to balletic pirouettes. Also included are the cinema-inspired Linterna mágica and the Radio Madrid suite with its broadcasts from different places in Spain, each miniature a brief flash of inspiration from deep within Turinas fertile, creative spirit.
