Praised for his technique and his palette of colors, Luis Fernando Pérez is considered one of the most exceptional musicians of his generation and “The Renaissance of the Spanish Piano” (Le Monde). After studying with Dimitri Bashkirov and Galina Egyazarova at the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid, he continued his training with Pierre-Laurent Aimard at the Hochschule in Cologne and Alicia de Larrocha at the Marshall Academy in Barcelona. He has received masterclasses from many exceptionally talented performers such as Leon Fleisher, András Schiff, Bruno-Leonardo Gelber, and Menahem Pressler.
He has collaborated with numerous orchestras, including the Spanish National Orchestra, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, and the Polska Filharmonia Bałtycka, alongside conductors of the stature of George Tchitchinadze, Ros Marbá, Kazuki Yamada, Jesús López Cobos, and Jean-Jacques Kantorow.
He is a regular guest at festivals such as La Roque d’Anthéron, Musika-Música in Bilbao, the Richter Festival (Tours), the Granada International Festival, the Quincena Donostiarra, and the Santander International Festival, and he frequently collaborates with the Casals Quartet, the Ardeo Quartet, and the Modigliani Quartet.
Despite his youth, his discography is extensive and has received widespread acclaim. All of his albums have been awarded the “Exceptional Disc” distinction by Scherzo magazine. His recording of “Iberia” earned him the Albéniz Medal and is considered “The fourth mythical Iberia” by Gramophone magazine (alongside Alicia de Larrocha, Esteban Sánchez, and Rafael Orozco). His recording of Granados’s Goyescas, released on the French label Mirare, received the Diapason d’Or and the Choc de l’année from Classica magazine. He recently recorded an album dedicated to Federico Mompou (FFFF from Télérama and 5 stars from Diapason) and is currently working on his next recording project.
Along with his frenetic concert activity, he develops an intense dedication to teaching at the Katarina Gurska Higher Center and the Marshall Academy (following in the footsteps of his teacher Alicia de Larrocha). He is also a professor of the Piano and Chamber Music Master’s Degree at the Conservatorio Superior de Aragón, as well as a Guest Professor at the University of Senzoku (Tokyo). Since the 2024-2025 academic year, he is also Artistic Director of the Encounter of Music and Academy of Santander, together with Márta Gulyás.
