He recorded two versions of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto using a reconstructed historical boxwood clarinet and has premiered several important works, including Pierre Boulez's ''Domaines'' —which was written for him— and Henri Pousseur's Madrigal I.
He is a two-time winner of the Grand Prix du Disque.
