Marvelous Spanish pianist Javier Perianes on today at 10:00

Posted at 9:31 AM on September 14, 2011 by Alison Young

Javier Perianes has just recorded music of Manuel de Falla with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, but he tells an interviewer that he hasn't decided yet whether he even wants to be a concert pianist!

He's a stellar musician, and says that he's on a 'musical journey' now to find his voice and that competitions (which he has won many) sometimes don't find the best musicians even if they find the best technician. Read the article here.

What a gorgeous piece Javier Perianes plays at 10:00 - Falla's " Nights in the Gardens of Spain." Don't miss it!
