After being prized in the leading Spanish piano competitions (1988-1992) he developed a pedagogical career and grew involved in the Spanish contemporary music scene. He has championed the piano music of Soviet contemporary composers such as Arvo Pärt, Sofia Gubaidulina, Boris Tishchenko and Alfred Schnittke, and kept a close artistic relationship with local composers such as Francisco Llácer Pla. Since 1994 he forms with David Kuijken a renowed piano duo, having developed in successive years his chamber music career with the Brodsky and Prazak string quartets. He is a professor in the Conservatory of Castellón, in whose University he graduated in philosophy, and a member of the London Liszt Society.
