His albums have won Gramophone Record of the Year, Grammy nominations and Penguin Guide Rosettes. He has been the Artistic Director of the Beare’s Premiere Music Festival (formerly the Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival) since 2012, transforming it into one of the best chamber music festivals in Asia.
