21 Ráfaga, Op. 53 Joaquín Turina 2:32
Spain shaped guitar writing across the twentieth century, not least through the many works Andrés Segovia commissioned. France also drew leading Spanish composers – Joaquín Turina, Federico Mompou and Joaquín Rodrigo among them. In Paris Turina met Isaac Albéniz and, under that influence, began folding Spanish folk song into his music. There too the shy Mompou studied with Ferdinand Motte-Lacroix and absorbed Satie's musical primitivism.
Melbourne guitarist Owen Thomson traces more than fifty years of this repertoire, from Turina's flamenco-inflected sonatas and dances to Mompou's only original guitar suite and Rodrigo's late preludes.
Reviews

Artists
Owen Thomson
guitar
Guitarist Owen Thomson has received numerous awards, among them the G.E. Morris Music Prize and the Gwen Nisbet Memorial Award, and recently won the Adelaide Guitar Competition.
Federico Mompou
composer
Federico Mompou was a Spanish composer, shy in person, whose music took a spare, primitive turn in Paris. His guitar writing includes Suite Compostelana, his only original work for the instrument.
Joaquín Rodrigo
composer
Joaquín Rodrigo gave the classical guitar its most enduring twentieth-century voice. His Concierto de Aranjuez, Fantasía para un gentilhombre and smaller Spanish works still define how the instrument sings with orchestra, flute or voice: clear lines, warm colour and an unmistakable Iberian lilt.
Joaquín Turina
composer
Joaquín Turina was a Spanish composer of the twentieth century. His guitar writing folds folk song into flamenco-inflected sonatas and dances.

More to explore
Guitar Concerto
This recording looks toward a twenty-first-century classical aesthetic, deliberately crossing the line between concert music and popular song so that new work can again speak plainly to listeners and performers.
Sidekick
Sidekick is the debut CD from guitar duo Ziggy and Miles. It pairs new works written for the brothers with their own arrangement of Debussy’s Clair de Lune and repertoire from Spain, Latin America and Australia that has shaped their musical identity.
Le Rossignol
Margaret Lynch, soprano, and Peter Lynch, guitar, present works from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The recital was recorded in the natural acoustic of the Great Hall at Montsalvat in Eltham, Victoria.
