He proposed and revisited numerous works of the past under a different lens. His compositions include chamber, orchestral, choral and symphonic-choral works. He has chosen to pay particular attention to the art of transcription. Debussy's Sonatas for cello, and for violin, and piano, Ravel's Posthume Sonata, Wagner's Albumblatt, are just some of the pieces transcribed and re-proposed in a different perspective.
