Descripción
Joaquin Turina (1882 - 1949) was a native of Seville. His place with the foremost Spanish nationalist composers was never in dispute. Several of his works are among the proudest achievements of this school of composers. These include La Oracion del Torero, for string quartet and the Sinfonia Sevillana, which won first prize in a competition conducted by the San Sebastian Casino in 1920.
