He then refined his skills with Janigro, Brunello, and Shafran, winning in 1996 the first prize for virtuosity at the Geneva Conservatory under the guidance of Daniel Gronsgurin. From 1995 and for the following five years, he served as principal solo cello of the “Camerata Bern”, an ensemble with which he toured worldwide alongside outstanding musicians such as András Schiff, Holliger, Peter Serkin, Chumachenco, and Zehetmair, recording for Decca, Berlin Classics, and Philips. In February 2000, he was chosen by Riccardo Muti to take on the role of principal cello of the Orchestra of Teatro alla Scala.
