Spanish Violin Sonatas brings to light a fascinating and little-known chapter of nineteenth-century Spanish chamber music. Violinist David Santacecilia and pianist Alberto Urroz present sonatas by Martín Sánchez Allú, Marcial del Adalid and Guillermo Morphy, three composers who sought to introduce into Spanish musical life the tradition of European “learned music” represented by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn. Written between the 1850s and early 1870s, these works reveal how Spanish composers absorbed Central European models while developing their own musical language. Sánchez Allú’s Sonata in D major combines Classical elegance with striking chromatic writing and a remarkably integrated dialogue between violin and piano. Adalid’s Sonata in C minor displays a more overt Beethovenian character, with dramatic gestures and an almost orchestral conception of the two instruments. Morphy’s Sonata in E-flat major, premiered in Paris in 1869, reflects Beethoven’s chamber-music legacy while displaying its composer’s refined harmonic imagination. Recorded at Granada’s Auditorio Manuel de Falla, this album restores three significant works to the repertoire, revealing an unexpectedly rich Spanish chamber-music tradition that developed beyond the dominant operatic culture of nineteenth-century Spain.
