In the own words of Ronald Turini, disciple of Vladimir Horowitz: “I have heard Mr. Gallardo in one of his concerts in Canadá, and his performance was just brilliant, very exciting and full of deepest musical sense.”

In 1997 he began the live recording of the Complete Works of Franz Liszt for the SLKE Live Recording Series.
In 1999, music institutions of Hungary and Poland in Budapest invited Mr. Gallardo to be part of the international jury of the prestigious Chopin Piano Competition; a jury that he shared with members such as Josef Stompel and Andrzej Jasenski (Poland), Istvan Lántos and Jeno Jando (Hungary).
During the 2001 season, Mr. Gallardo was invited to the International Music Festival of Georgetown (Ontario, Canadá), where he received praising comments from both the audience and the critics for his "brilliant and poetic" interpretations. He made his début with the Georgetown Festival Orchestra performing J.S. Bach's Double Piano Concertó BWV 1064, a true success according to the audience and the critics. This concert was recorded live for the SLKE Live Recording Series Collection.
In 2002 Mr. Gallardo is invited to the Advent Concert Series at Grassalkovich Palace performing Mozart Piano Concertó for two pianos in E b Major with the renowed The Solti Chamber Orchestra, and in 2003, he made his debut in the United States of América, Japan, México and Slovakia.
