He has made many radio and CD recordings (including for Teldec, Harmonia Mundi…). Two of is latest recording has been awarded with “Diapason d’or”.

Recently he has written a book on Bruhn’s organ works.

He is often invited to sit on juries for international organ competitions (Toulouse, Milan, Bruges, Tokyo) and to give lectures and masterclasses, including the Harleem Academy.
