One of the most charismatic and exciting talents of his generation, Tchaikovsky Prize-winning Spanish cellist Pablo Ferrández has been hailed across the globe for his "pop-idol magnetism, superb technique and exhilarating musicality" (LA Times), as a performer who "has everything: technique, mettle, spirit … and charm" (El País).  He has quickly built a reputation as a performer both hugely admired by fellow musicians, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Gidon Kremer among them and loved by audiences, also on social media, where his charm and immediacy of Ferrández's performances and personality reaches an audience of millions.

Ferrández's debut album on Sony Classical, "Reflections", provides a perfect introduction to this exceptional artist: With romantic spirit, it reflects his musical roots and unexpected parallels in the music of Russia and Spain at the start of the 20th century. With Rachmaninov and his Spanish contemporaries Casals, Granados and De Falla it presents an evocative mixture of nostalgia, melodic warmth including Rachmaninov's ardently melodic Cello Sonata and his haunting "Vocalise", De Falla's touching lullaby "Nana" and Granado's "Oriental" from his Danzas españolas.
