His interpretation of Albeniz's Suite Iberia has been highly praised by the critics - "magnificent, impressive, with the right touch of expression" (ABC, Madrid); " Carboné's Iberia is actually unique, he feasts on the complexity of texture, savoring the density of pages other pianists gloss over" ( J oseph Horowitz) - and his live video performance of this work has quickly become a reference in the internet and a revelation to Spanish music lovers. Mr. Carboné has also given a new meaning to the music of neglected 20th-century Spanish composer Oscar Espla, whose piano works he recorded for Marco Polo receiving rave reviews by Fanfare and the American Record Guide. He has taken Espla's music as far as mainland China and performed his masterpiece Sonata deI Sur with the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt and the "George Enescu" Philharmonic of Bucharest, marking the first time this piano concerto is heard outside of Spain in 50 years. Pedro Carboné first came into the spotlight when at age 19 he performed Chopin's Twenty-Four Etudes at the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona. His recording of those works for RCA garnered excellent notices, placing it among the best ever made (Harmonie-Opera, Paris). The Washington Post called him "a major artist" after his Kennedy Center debut and he has since performed throughout the U.S. to critical and audience acclaim, and has been featured live repeatedly on National Public Radio's nationwide broadcasts including a 3-day Spanish music marathon at the University of Chicago with performances of Albeniz's complete Suite Iberia and Falla's Concerto, as well as Nights in the Gardens of Spain. In New York City, he has performed at the Guggenheim Museum's "Works & Process" series, BAM's Opera House, Miller Theatre and as soloist with the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Orchestra of St. Luke's, American Composers Orchestra, and the Perspectives Ensemble. In his early twenties, Pedro Carboné was a pupil of the late Eugene Istomin. He also studied in the U.S. with Leon Fleisher and in Switzerland with Jean- Bernard Pommier. A remarkable pedagogue himself, Mr. Carboné has given Master classes at the International Keyboard Festival at Mannes College of Music in New York and has also been invited to perform at the Juilliard School of Music as an authority in the Spanish piano repertoire.
