HarrisonParrott is delighted to welcome acclaimed Spanish pianist Javier Perianes to its roster for worldwide general management. Awarded the ​‘National Music Prize’ in 2012 by the Ministry of Culture of Spain, Perianes has been described as ​“a pianist of impeccable and refined tastes, blessed with a warmth of touch.” (The Telegraph)
 
Praised for the poetry as well as the passion of his music-making, Perianes’ flourishing international career already spans five continents – with concerts ranging from London’s Royal Festival Hall to New York’s Carnegie Hall; Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Élysées to Berlin’s Philharmonie; Moscow Conservatory’s Great Hall to Suntory Hall Tokyo.
 
Collaborating with many of the world’s leading conductors and orchestras, Perianes will in the coming season perform with Wiener Philharmoniker, Chicago and Boston Symphony Orchestras and London Philharmonic Orchestra amongst others; while in recital he has already been heard in such centres as Madrid, Barcelona, Leipzig, St Petersburg, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Marseille and Hong Kong.
 
Perianes records exclusively for harmonia mundi – most recently releasing a live recording of Grieg’s Piano Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Sakari Oramo: ​“It takes a brave man to record the Grieg Piano Concerto… but the young Spanish virtuoso Javier Perianes’ performance is of such a fearless and arresting brilliance that it virtually erases memories of the past.” (Gramophone)
