His wide repertoire includes nearly all the major cello works (Haydn, Dvorak, Bach, Beethoven, Prokofiev) and several lesser known works (Krasa, Lidner, Mullenbach, Chausson), including his own transcriptions for cello (Chausson, Kreisler, Lutoslawski). Always keen to discover new works for his instrument, he has worked with composers Sofia Gubaidulina and Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, and made world premieres at the Salzburg and Gex Festivals.
