In 2009 he signed to Harmonia Mundi, making his solo debut on the label with the first instalment of a Mozart keyboard music series which went on to win a Schallplattenkritik Award and a Diapason d’Or de L’année; his discography on the label also includes collaborations with Isabelle Faust, Mark Padmore, Viktoria Mullova and Petra Müllejans.
