Rautavaara). His performances have been described by Spanish newspaper "Núvol" as "exquisite" and "honest".

 

Since his debut as a soloist at the age of 15 performing W. A. Mozart's Kv. 466 concert with the Orchestra of Santa Coloma, Mr Blanco has performed in venues and concert halls across Spain, Germany, Finland and the USA, and has been awarded 1st Prize in competitions such as the Isaac Albéniz Conservatory and Sant Anastasi de Lleida competitions.
