His “Paraphrase of Wagner's Valkyrie Ride”, edited by Boileau de Barcelona, has received unanimous applause since its composition in 2013. It was recently published by the official Steinway & Sons website, which has multiplied its international popularity.

His celebrated CD Piano Fire (Nîbius Label, 2016), has been awarded the Golden Music Artist and was album of the month on Ritmo.

Although he has maintained a constant pedagogical activity for more than two decades, his agenda has focused on this facet more intensely in recent years, mainly as a professor at the Alfonso X El Sabio University in Madrid. He is currently a piano teacher in the High Specialization Program of the Escuela Internacional Musical Arts Madrid (MAM), as well as an Academic and Artistic Advisor to that institution. He is also regularly invited to teach masterclasses in different European cities, as well as a permanent teacher at the Sardoal Piano Meeting (Portugal), in the Advanced Piano Training Courses of the Accademia Musicale Europea (Naples, Italy) and at the Xàbia's Moon International Piano Festival, of which he is also Artistic Director. In the next academic year 2021/2022, she will join the faculty of the prestigious Miami International Piano Festival Academy, invited by its founder, the visionary pianist and pedagogue Giselle Brodsky, who is also a mentor to Carles Marín.

He has also worked with other important figures in his training, such as Joaquín Achúcaro and, more recently, Edna Golandsky, who has provided him with a wealth of information about the Taubman Approach. He has also received advice from Alicia de Larrocha and Zubin Mehta.

His repertoire is rich and versatile, as well as committed to current music, having made world premieres by different composers who have dedicated works to him, such as César Cabedo, Raúl Carrión, Miguel Gironés or Andrés Valero.

He is currently a member of the Valencia Iturbi International Piano Competition Commission, as Artistic Advisor, under the direction of the distinguished Maestro Joaquín Achúcaro.
