Rafael Catalá, born in Valencia, is an acknowledged interpreter and composer with pronounced Mediterranean roots that define his artistic personality.
He works with great artists such as mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza and baritone Carlos Álvarez, and he has achieved considerable international renown as a soloist.
His concerts in many European countries, Japan, the Near East, Mexico and the U.S (Tokyo Opera Concert Hall, Izumi Hall Osaka; Viennas Konzerthaus and Musikverein as a soloist with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra; Londons St. John´s Smith Square, Khan Theater Jerusalem ) and his awarded CD recordings for acknowledged Labels such as Sony Classical have made him a highly sought-after musician.
Always in search of something new, Rafael Catalá integrates trends of various origins into his works, and with his academic training he is thereby devote to flamenco music in order to expressly emphasize its suitability for the concert platform.
He also seeks the participation of important jazz musicians, whose improvisations enrich his music and thus open up new perspectives in the classical repertoire.
Catalá´s music is met with increasing enthusiasm from audiences and the press.
