In July 2021 Perianes released his latest album featuring Chopin’s Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3 interspersed with the three Mazurkas from Op. 63.

He was awarded the ‘National Music Prize’ in 2012 by the Ministry of Culture of Spain and named Artist of the Year at the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) in 2019.
