Claves invites you to another rendezvous with Turina

For a number of years Claves Records has dedicated its efforts to the music and memory of Spanish composer Joaquín Turina. During the 90’s a colorful series of recordings was made featuring artists such as Maria Bayo, Ricardo Requejo and the Sine Nomine Quartet. And today a young trio from New York will accompany us a bit further on this musical journey through Andalusia with Turina’s three piano trios.

The Damocles Trio, Adam Kent (piano), Airi Yoshioka (violin) and Sibylle Johner (cello), has made Spanish music one of its specialties. Knowing that Turina is still relatively unknown among broader audiences, the artists took it upon themselves to provide a detailed commentary for the booklet that accompanies this CD. This recording is rounded off with Turina’s Piano Quartet in A Minor, which the trio performs together with Lawrence Dutton, the well known violist from the Emerson Quartet.
