Carlos Marquez

Carlos Marquez is a gifted pianist whose eclectic taste and technical prowess have positioned him as a notable interpreter of classical and contemporary piano repertoire. Marquez has a penchant for unearthing and shining a light on forgotten musical gems, as evidenced by his project "Forgotten Piano Gems, Vol. 1." His discography is a testament to his wide-ranging musical interests, covering works from composers such as Joaquín Turina, with albums focusing on both Sevilla and Ensueños, to the more modern compositions of Vicenzo Piano and Frank H. Grey.

Through his recorded works, such as "Reflections In Motion" and "Echoes of the Belle Époque," Marquez not only demonstrates his virtuosic skill and deep emotional connection to the music he plays but also his commitment to exploring the depth and breadth of the piano literature. His albums "Aquarelles, Arabesques and Miniatures" and "Piano music of Giulio Mendozza" showcase his ability to navigate complex textures and nuanced musical landscapes, bringing each composer's vision to life with precise delicacy and dynamic expressiveness. Carlos Marquez’s exploration of lesser-known works alongside established masterpieces offers listeners a unique and enriching musical journey that spans the full spectrum of the piano’s expressive potential.
