Fantasy, that marvellous ability the mind has to recapture past events or distant memories, or to idealise reality, is the thread that runs through this album. It was certainly central to the work of Joaquin Turina, who created a world that conjured up a childhood full of fantastical possibilities. This sixth volume of the complete Turina piano works as performed by Catalan pianist Jordi Maso features pieces in which fantasy not only forms part of the title but also lies at the heart of the music itself.
