「他是一位頂尖的年輕大提琴家，而且擁有一切大提琴家所需要的特質:絢麗的技巧、深刻的音樂表現以及難以抗拒的魅力」
－名音樂家克里斯多福．埃申巴赫
巴勃羅．費蘭德斯最近才在2016國際古典音樂大獎ICMA 贏得夢寐以求的「年度青年音樂家獎」，並且也在柴可夫斯基國際音樂比賽XV和V 保羅國際大提琴比賽中雙雙獲獎；透過他的音樂表現，證明了他的確是。他濃烈的情緒和個性，在各個舞台上驚艷了全球的聽眾。
他真摯的情感特質時常被讚美，甚至連樂評都稱他為「頂尖的大提琴家之一」（音叉雜誌－雷米．路易斯）。25歲的費蘭德斯也持續和國際聞名的音樂家、世界領導級樂團合作，因此亦逐步建造他亮眼的職業生涯。
費蘭德斯擔任過獨奏並合作的樂團有許多：馬林斯基歌劇院管弦樂團、維也納交響樂團、聖彼得堡愛樂樂團、斯圖加特愛樂樂團、波羅的海弦樂團、塔皮奧拉小交響樂團、日本兵庫縣表演藝術中心樂團、墨西哥國家交響樂團、馬德里RTVE廣播交響樂團以及佛羅倫斯五月音樂節管弦樂團。他更合作過許多著名音樂家像是：祖賓．梅塔、瓦列里．格吉耶夫、尤里．捷米爾卡諾夫、亞當．費雪、海因里希．席夫、丹尼斯．羅素．戴維斯、约翰．斯托爾高兹、基東．克雷默、吉特里斯和安娜－蘇菲．穆特。
身為一位狂熱的室內音樂家，費蘭德斯經常被邀請參與各種國際性的音樂節，像是: 韋爾比耶音樂節、格施塔德頂級音樂會、語調音樂節、熱狂之日音樂節、卡薩爾斯音樂節、梅克倫堡波莫瑞州音樂節、斯皮瓦科夫音樂節、皮亞第果斯基國際大提琴音樂節、克龍貝爾格大提琴音樂節、桑坦德國際音樂節以及萊茵高音樂節。費蘭德斯也在萊茵高音樂節獲得了2015音樂節獎。費蘭德斯最近在巴黎羅浮宮、巴塞隆納加泰羅尼亞音樂宮以及馬德里國際音樂廳的演出，也獲得如潮佳評。擁有吸引目光的技巧，這位迷人的表演者亦被萊茵高音樂節的評委形容為「一位鼓舞人心、豐沛表現樂曲能力，並且能夠盡情揮灑技巧來配合作曲家的獨奏家」、「在費蘭德斯身上找不到一點虛榮與自大」。
巴勃羅．費蘭德斯與拉鐸斯拉夫．修爾茲指揮的斯圖加特愛樂管弦樂團合作的第一張CD，演奏德弗札克與舒曼的大提琴協奏曲，廣獲好評。英國衛報的評論家提姆．阿什利提到：「巴勃羅．費蘭德斯是一位優秀的表演者，他的表演有溫暖的音調，亦有怦然的悸動。更深入地說，他抒情的表演方式，就是那帶點憂鬱的優雅和閃爍水晶般的機智表達方式，使他成為了舒曼協奏曲的最佳傳譯。」弦樂雜誌的評論家珍妮克．班克斯也說:「透過演奏德弗札克的樂曲，費蘭德斯再次證明他是傑出的大提琴家。他維持了傳譯樂曲時的輕與自由度卻又能駕馭深重的情緒而不過分沉溺。」費蘭德斯和小提琴家基頓克萊曼亦有長時間的藝術友好關係，基頓克萊曼是他主要的支持者之一。巴勃羅．費蘭德斯第二張錄製中的CD便和海因里希．席夫指揮的波羅的海弦樂團合作，演出義大利作曲家羅西尼和梅諾蒂的曲子。
2016/17樂季的眾多亮點，包含他即將在柏林愛樂廳與柏林德意志交響樂團合作首次登台，與璜侯．梅納指揮的BBC愛樂樂團合作，與指揮家克里斯托弗．埃申巴赫、法蘭克福廣播交響樂團及西班牙國家交響樂團合作演出舒曼的大提琴協奏曲，回到祖賓•梅塔指揮的佛羅倫斯五月音樂節演出、在埃爾毛宮、馬林斯基劇院舉行獨奏會，與小提琴家基頓克萊曼及波羅的海弦樂團舉行歐洲巡迴演出，參與耶路撒冷國際室內音樂節、羅斯托波維契音樂節，與RAI國立交響樂團合作首次登臺；並與巴塞隆納交響樂團、卡斯蒂利亞－莱昂交響樂團、大卡納尼亞愛樂樂團、慕尼黑交響樂團、愛沙尼亞國立交響樂團、巴西交響樂團、臺北市立交響樂團和昆士蘭交響樂團皆會陸續合作。也會和小提琴家安娜－蘇菲．穆特和倫敦愛樂樂團及合作演出布拉姆斯雙重奏協奏曲。
1991年出生於馬德里的音樂世家，巴勃羅．費蘭德斯13歲進入擁有高度聲望的蘇菲亞王后高等音樂學院師事沙霍夫斯卡雅，在那之後他進入克隆勃格音樂學院師事法蘭斯．海莫森。費蘭德斯所用的琴是日本音樂基金會提供的1696年史特拉第瓦里製的名琴「艾勒斯佛公爵」，並對此銘謝於心。

"He is the top young cellist. He has everything: splendid technique, profound musicality and an overwhelming charisma!" - Maestro Christoph Eschenbach
Recently awarded the coveted ICMA 2016 “Young Artist of the Year”, and prizewinner at the XV International Tchaikovsky Competition and at the V Paulo International Cello Competition, Pablo Ferrández announces himself as a musician of stature. His emotional intensity and personality on stage have wowed audiences around the globe.
Praised by his authenticity and hailed by the critics as “one of the top cellists” (Rémy Louis, Diapason Magazine), the 25-year-old Pablo Ferrández continues building a brilliant career through collaborations with international renowned artists and world leading orchestras.
He has appeared as a soloist with the Mariinsky Orchestra, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Stuttgart Philharmonic, Kremerata Baltica, Helsinki Philharmonic, Tapiola Sinfonietta, Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra, Mexico National Symphony Orchestra, Spanish National Orchestra, RTVE Orchestra, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, and collaborated with such artists as Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Yuri Temirkanov, Adam Fischer, Heinrich Schiff, Dennis Russell Davies, John Storgårds, Gidon Kremer, Ivry Gitlis and Anne-Sophie Mutter.
An avid chamber musician, Pablo is frequently invited to international festivals such as Verbier, Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, Intonations Festival, La Folle Journée, Casals, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Spivakov, Piatigorsky, Kronberg, Santander, and the Rheingau Music Festival, where Mr. Ferrández was awarded with the Music Festival Award 2015.　Ferrández has recently appeared in recital at the Louvre Museum in Paris, at the Palau de la Música de Barcelona, and at the Auditorio Nacional de Música de Madrid, obtaining rave reviews. A captivating performer with a compelling technique, he is described as “an inspirational and expressive soloist who always places his skills at the service of the composer.” “Personal vanity is alien to Ferrández” (Rheingau Festival Award Jury).
Pablo Ferrández recorded his first CD, featuring Dvorak and Schumann cello concertos, with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Radoslaw Szulc, which was received with great acclaim: “Pablo Ferrández is a fine performer, with a warm tone and an impulsive, if refined, lyricism that makes him a natural interpreter for Schumann's concerto, with its melancholic elegance and flashes of mercurial wit.” (Tim Ashley, The Guardian), “It is in Dvorak that Ferrández announces himself as a cellist of stature” “(he) manages to play with huge emotion while still keeping his interpretation light and free from overindulgence” (Janet Banks, The Strad). Ferrández is proud of his long-standing artistic friendship with Gidon Kremer, one of his major supporters. Pablo’s second recording featured Italian works by Rossini and Menotti with the Kremerata Baltica, conducted by Heinrich Schiff.
Highlights of the 2016/17 season include his debut at the Berliner Philharmonie with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the appereance with BBC Philharmonic under Juanjo Mena, collaborations with Christoph Eschenbach playing Schumann’s cello concerto with the HR-Sinfonieorchester and the Spanish National Symphony, the return to Maggio Musicale Fiorentino under Zubin Mehta, recitals at Schloss Elmau and the Mariinsky Theater, a European tour with Kremerata Baltica and Gidon Kremer, appearances at the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival and the Rostropovich Festival, debuts with Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale RAI, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, Castilla y Leon Symphony, Gran Canaria Philharmonic, Munich Symphony, Estonian National Symphony, Orchestra Sinfonica Brasileira, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and the performance of Brahms' double concerto with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

After that he completed his studies at the Kronberg Academy with Frans Helmerson. Mr. Ferrández plays the Stradivarius “Lord Aylesford” (1696) thanks to the Nippon Music Foundation.
