About

Personality, refinement and brightness define pianist Judith Jáuregui. British magazine International Piano has recently portrayed her as ‘creative intuition’‘an imaginative artist, a strikingly individual performer who has impressed European audiences with her maturity of expression’. Likewise, in the words of the German magazine Piano News, 'it is not only the impeccability of her performance that counts, but rather the impression of listening to a pianist who really has something to say’.

Other recent reviews outline that in her interpretation ‘everything is evocation, suggestion, of a joyful and dancelike voluptuosity” (Classiquenews), describe her sound as ‘simply beautiful: it is a festival of polyphony and fluidity, sobriety and elegance and a rare intelligence of contrast and nuance’ (Audiophile Magazine) and remark that ‘listening to Judith Jáuregui is, above all, a discovery of a leading artist, who plays without borders and finds her truth in musical power, but also in an overwhelming interiority’ (Mediapart).

In recent years she has been enthusiastically received on leading stages, including the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, the Palau de la Música in Barcelona, the Southbank Centre in London, Auditorium du Louvre in Paris, Flagey in Bruxelles, Konzerthaus Berlin, Suntory Hall Tokyo, NCPA Beijing, Teatro Mayor in Bogotá, Schloss Elmau in Germany, Murten Classics in Switzerland and the Festival International de Piano de La Roque d’Anthéron in France,  the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza de Granada, amongst others.

She has collaborated with the Britten Sinfonia, the Orchestre National de Lille, the Orchestre National de Cannes, the Sinfonie Orchester Biel Solothurn, the Neubrandenburger Philharmonie, the PFK Prague Philharmonia, Das Neue Orchester Köln, the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, the Slovak Sinfonietta, Rzeszow Philharmonie, the OFUNAM in Mexico and the Simón Bolívar Orchestra of Venezuela, besides the principal Spanish orchestras such as the Spanish National Orchestra, Spanish National Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra, the Basque National Orchestra or the Castille and Leon Symphony Orchestra.

Born in San Sebastian in northern Spain, Judith Jáuregui has a multicultural background  derived from her Basque mother and her Mexican father, who grew up in France. After initial studies she moved to Munich to study with the Russian maestro Vadim Suchanov at the Richard-Strauss Konservatorium. 

Highlights of season 24/25 include concerts in Germany and Spain with the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie, her return to ADDA Simfònica season, her debut in Armenia at the Komitas International Music Festival and her presence in big Spanish halls like the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, the Auditorio Miguel Delibes in Valladolid, the Auditorio Manuel de Falla in Granada or the Sociedad de Conciertos in Alicante.

Unanimous applause from international critics for ‘Homeland’

Since its launch in April, Judith's new album ‘Homeland’ has received unanimous recognition and applause from international critics. Both her version of Grieg’s Concerto and her Night’s in the Gardens of Spain by Falla have been received with enthusiasm, with high praise for “a well-balanced mix of intuition and wisdom”, “a sure technique, silky legato and a keen sense of the dance elements”, “a perfect control of the dynamics and the nuances”, “a delicate touch, rich in suggestiveness and the introspection of a pianist who is no longer a bright hope of the piano, but rather an incontestable reality showing the signs of an early maturity”. A summary of the reviews follows!

Judith Jáuregui publishes her new album: HOMELAND

Homeland is more than just a place of birth; the term connotes a deep emotional bond between an individual and their country, their culture, and their nature. It was when composers Edvard Grieg and Manuel de Falla began to explore the depths of their cultural homelands that they found the compositional languages for which they are famous today. Judith Jáuregui united two of the greatest works of both composers on her seventh album, titled Homeland. Together with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León and conductor Kaspar Zehnder, she recorded Grieg’s Piano Concerto Opus 16 and de Falla’s Noches en los Jardines de España.
