"It gives me great pleasure to introduce the absolutely wonderful young pianist, JAVIER PERIANES. His victory at the prestigious 43rd International Piano Competition at Jaen, Spain in April 2001 inspired the public and jury alike, which was unanimous in its decision to award him not only the first prize, but two additional prizes for the best performance of Spanish music. Javier's victory gave resonance to my service on the jury alongside such distinguished artists as Rosalyn Tureck, Dag Achatz, Yukie Nagai, Pola Baytelman and Guillermo Gonzalez. Here is a substantial artist of great intellectual and emotional integrity. A musician's musician, his fabulous technique and spiritual largesse move beyond mere display and into the heart of what really matters: music. What's more, he is a pianist whose warmth and generosity of spirit is matched note for note by his impeccable taste and elegance of phrasing, his sumptuous tone, his radiant stage presence and his profound understanding of musical values. In my estimation, Javier Perianes is among an elite. I predict for him one of the pre-eminent careers of the 21st century."
