He has conducted many of the major orchestras in Europe, Asia and America, including the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Belgium, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Lyon, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Orchestra Nazionale della RAI Torino, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the MDR Symphony Orchestra, and the Deutsche Radiophilharmonie. He has appeared as a guest conductor with various opera companies, among them the Komische Oper Berlin, the Basel Theater, the Göteborg Opera, and the Verona Philharmonic Theater (Tristan und Isolde).
