His subsequent career has led him to perform throughout Europe and the USA in venues as Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, London’s Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Cité de la Musique in Paris and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center.

He has garnered critical acclaim for performances of concertos of all periods, ranging from Bach to Lutoslawski.
