He has had many works dedicated to him, and premiered Thierry Pécou’s cycle Outre-Mémoire and his concerto L’Oiseau innumérable. His recital Hommages à Rameau, which alternates the movements of the Suite in A with homages by composers of today, has been heard all over Europe since its creation in 2001. It was followed by a Hommage à Couperin (Gagneux, Pesson, Mâche, Lenot, Hersant) first performed at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris in May 2008.
