Though modest in length and scope, this programme neatly illustrates something of the variety of early-20th-century Spanish music. The Falla (the familiar Paul Kochanski arrangement of six of his Siete canciones populares españolas) is always a delight, at least when played with this degree of freshness and awareness of the sharply etched character of each piece.

The Catalan violinist, conductor and composer Eduardo Toldrá (1895-1962) has a very different voice: at first hearing his music may seem quite bland in its traditional harmonies and phrase structure, enlivened by touches of impressionism and Brahmsian romanticism. But it’s redeemed by being beautifully laid out for violin and piano, each sonnet having its own individuality, delineated with subtlety – a long way from Falla’s vivid contrasts.

Toldrá’s Spanishness is similarly understated, whereas Andalusian modal inflections pervade Turina’s concise First Sonata (1929). All in all, it’s a most attractive, spirited work that deserves to be better known. León and Muñoz are well matched – apart from a couple of uncomfortable passages of double-stopping in the Turina the performances are excellent.
