The premier concert venue in Spain, Madrid’s renowned Auditorio Nacional de Música, has become the most recent prestigious international venue to install Yamaha's flagship concert grand piano, the CFX.
Opened in 1988, The Auditorio Nacional de Música (National Music Auditorium) is part of the National Institute of Scenic Arts and Music and features two major concert halls: the 2,300 capacity Symphony Hall and the smaller 700 capacity Chamber Hall.
Auditorio Nacional plays a vital part in the musical life of the country and is home to the Spanish National Orchestra and choir and the Spanish National Youth Orchestra.
Yamaha were delighted to host the acclaimed Spanish pianist Javier Perianes at its Hamburg headquarters recently to make the vital selection of the CFX that is to be installed in the concert hall. Javier is one of Spain's most exciting and respected young pianists and is hugely popular with audiences in Spain and beyond, having performed in New York's Carnegie Hall, London's Wigmore and Royal Festival Halls and the Suntory Hall in Tokyo. He has worked with many prestigious orchestras and is already a successful recording artist, having released a range of popular CDs. He also recently received a Latin Grammy nomination.
On the selection process, Javier comments, “It's been a true pleasure to have participated in the selection of this new Yamaha CFX for the Auditorio Nacional de Música. I believe that the beautiful sound and the precise mechanics of this extraordinary instrument will catch the attention of many pianists.”
