Violin Sonata played by Albert Sammons (violin) and Edie Miller (piano), on gramophone records
Although Joaquin Turina is known in this country by his colourful vand thoroughly Spanish pieces, such as ' The Procession or the Rocio ' and the three Fantastic Dances, his chief interest is in .chamber music and I pure ' music in general. Born in 1882, Turina studied with d'Indy in Paris for eight or nine years, and so acquired the solid classical outlook of Cesar Franck. This Violin Sonata, however (composed in 1930), is unmistakably Spanish in colouring and is closer in spirit to Ravel than to Franck.
