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.

Of all the brass bands associated with big industrial concerns, Foden's is perhaps the best known, its remarkable competitive achievements having ensured this. Twice in its career the band has done the hat trick ' at the Crystal Palace, winning the premier trophy in 1932, 1933, and 1934, and again in" 1936, 1937, and 1938. This run of triumphs was in addition to an earlier victory in 1910. Then, nearer home at Belle Vue, Manchester, the band has won the championship there on no fewer than eight occasions. Founded by the late Edwin Foden in 1900, to celebrate the relief of Mafeking, the band is composed of employees of the Foden's Motor Works, Sandbach. Cheshire.
