Since then he has performed extensively at home and abroad, and written pieces in all genres. He has made over 20 recordings on the Deltatel label, including the complete cycle of the Beethoven piano sonatas, as well as works by Haydn, Schumann, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and Poulenc.

One of his many other projects has been to revive and record the piano compositions of the late astronomer, Sir Patrick Moore.
