To commemorate the 75th anniversary year of Turina’s death, this album presents some of the composer’s most admired works heard in arrangements for strings that honour the colour, richness and vivacity of the originals. Two of his best-known works – La oración del torero (‘The Prayer of the Bullfighter’) and Orgía, from Danzas fantásticas – open and close the programme. Other examples include a sinuous Andalusian Tango and a rare example drawn from his incidental music, Aparición del Arcángel.

Concerto Málaga has given over a thousand performances and has collaborated with globally renowned artists including conductor José Serebrier, harpist Anneleen Lenaerts, violinist Mariana Sîrbu and guitarist Pepe Romero. The orchestra has captivated audiences across the globe in prestigious venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Prinzregententheater in Munich and Balboa Theatre in San Diego.

The orchestra was also the first Iberian chamber orchestra to record for Deutsche Grammophon, achieving a best-selling album in Germany in 2011 alongside Los Romeros. It was also the first Andalusian chamber group to receive a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Classical Album.
