He has appeared in collaboration with major orchestras and conductors, and together with chamber music partners of distinction. His interest in conducting began at Yale, when he studied with Otto-Werner Müller and also with Yuri Simonov. He made his debut as a conductor in 1990 with the Santa Cecilia Orchestra of Rome. In 1999 he was named Principal Guest Conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. He has appeared as guest conductor with orchestras in Europe and in the Far East, and was for three years Principal Guest Conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
