His close partnership with “Timpani Records”, among other companies, has led to several recordings, including the complete chamber music of Gabriel Pierné with pianist Christian Ivaldi, the first recording of Jean Cras’ cello sonata with pianist Alain Jacquon and Maurice Ohana’s cello works with pianist Pascal Devoyon.
