Current season highlights include recitals at Carnegie Hall (New York), Wigmore Hall (London), the National Concert Hall (Dublin), the Belgrade Philharmonic, and Glenn Gould Studio (Toronto).

His first CD of music by Claude Debussy, lauded as "masterly" by Gramophone Magazine, recently received Mezzo Television's Critics Choice Award in France.
