Thanks for these videos, Dave! This is a very good idea for a video format, because you can still be doing it for ages and ages, and it doesn't matter what the record labels do or don't put out. My personal hopes are that you one day get to Reinecke. Or Wilms. Or the Loeillet cousins. Or...well, we could be here in ten years!

Thank you for recommending this work and recording. I have to confess that, despite decades of listening to classical music, it never appeared on my radar screen. Fortunately the recording is both on Idagio and Qobuz. María Espada is indeed marvelous, but of course I also looked up the performance by Victoria de los Angeles (Idagio has her Warner "Icon" compilation uploaded). That recording is not as vibrant as this modern recording, but it's hard for me to be objective about de los Angeles. I spent too many hours as a kid being introduced to her by my father, so her voice gets mixed up with too many memories. You've prodded me to explore more work by Turina. Thank you again.

Great choice; a true masterpiece. Thanks for doing this. My own favorite Turina orchestral work is the Procession du Roceo, op. 9, which contains one of the most glorious climaxes in all of music..IF it's taken at a slow, stately tempo (I only know of one [live] performance that really nails it). Big, expressive, arching melody in the strings with pealing bells...and the 3 trumpets in unison blasting out the Spanish National Anthem in honor of Our Lady of the Dew. Canto a Sevilla's "Semana Santa" (Holy Week) movement evokes the same mystical processional custom, as does the awesome "Fete Dieu a Seville" from Albeniz's Iberia. (I know "Canto" from the 1984 Decca recording by Pilar Lorengar, Suisse Romande, and Jesus Lopez-Cobos; sounds like I need to get the Chandos CD). LR

If I may ask, I'm interested in listening to the live version you mention of op. 9!! Can you be more specific please?

Thanks for your extended comments about a composer I have surely known was out there, but at the same time have not heard to any extent. The complete Isaac Albeniz "Iberia" with the peerless Alicia De Larrocha is basic library for me, so the allusion to "El Corpus Christi en Sevilla" caught my eye. I shall explore.

@@fedegwagwa Thanks for asking; it's a "private" recording from 2009, which I may be able to post at some point to You-Tube. If I do, I'll try to let people know.
