Subsequently he has been fortunate to work with many of Britain's finest instrumentalists and has partnered leading international soloists in many of the world's major concert halls. Between 1985 and 1999 he toured regularly throughout the world with cellist Ofra Harnoy and recorded works by Beethoven, Dvorak, Prokofiev and Schubert for RCA. In 2006 he performed a 13-recital tour of Japan with violinist Ryu Goto, including a Suntory Hall recital recorded live by Deutsche Grammophon for CD and DVD.
He has made numerous acclaimed CD recordings and has twice been nominated for a Gramophone Award. Highlights include the first three York Bowen Piano Concertos with Vernon Handley and the BBC Concert Orchestra, the solo piano music of Britten and Rubbra, and Bax songs with Ian Partridge and Jean Rigby. As a member of the Dussek Piano Trio with his wife, cellist Margaret Powell, and violinist Gonzalo Acosta, he has recorded works by Arensky, Brahms, Bridge, Haydn and Hurlstone.
