Four albums connect him with Cybele, all recorded between 1998 and 2003. Three of them he plays in duo with Egon Mihajlovic on harpsichord, organ and harmonium: German Music of the 18th Century with works by Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and by Händel (1998), Il Ritratto dell’amore with French music from Hotteterre and Couperin to Roussel, Poulenc and Milhaud (1999), and Vivi felice! with music of the 15th to 18th centuries from Italy, Spain and Dalmatia (2003). Beside them stands without compression (1998) with the Trio Diritto and works for recorder trio by Goldstein, Riehm, Marbe, Vieru, Thomas, Kröll and Dinescu – so the coexistence of early and new music that marks his work is mirrored in the catalogue as well.
