First Edition.

"Despite the picturesque local flavour in some compositions, Turina tried perhaps harder than any of his Spanish contemporaries to write music of a European standard in the conventional major forms. It was not by chance that his op.1 was a piano quintet, conscientiously modelled on works he admired. Turina was the only one of the four leading Spaniards to write a symphony, although the Sinfonía sevillana is closer to the character of a symphonic poem in three movements. ...However, this scale is moderated by a subtle elegance, grace and humour characteristic of his native Seville; Turina never approached Falla's depth of tragedy. A kind man, who loved simplicity and beauty, he often responded in music to literary or visual ideas, though these find their best expression in his non-dramatic pieces." Carlos Gómez Amat in Grove Music Online.
