A terrific chamber work by Joaquin Turina Circulo is a three movement fantasia for Piano Violin and Cello.

This work for Piano Trio was first performed in 1999 to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the composer's death. The work was composed in 1904 but like all of his works pre-1907 Turina treated it with disdain and never encouraged a performance.

Composer Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) was a native of Spain but was influenced early in his career by the impressionistic harmonies of Debussy and Ravel while studying in Paris. Upon returning to Spain he drew inspiration fromSpanish folk music with La Procession du Rocio becoming one of his best-known works. The music portrays a festival and procession that takes place in the Triana neighborhood of Seville and is filled with wonderfulidiomatic Spanish musical elements. Alfred Reed's marvelous transcription created in 1962 remains an enduring staple in the repertoire for wind bands. Dur: c. 8:30Recorded by The Keystone Wind Ensemble ?
