He became a virtuoso interpreter of the classical repertoire as well as a convincing performer and subscriber to many new composers such as Tōru Takemicu, Hans Werner Henze, Rolf Martinsson and Arvo Pärt. Recently, he is also appreciated as a conductor. The set consists of two distinctly contrasting sets. In the first there are three parts of the great classic Joseph Haydn.
