He currently combines a flourishing solo career with the position of concert master of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2013 the Supraphon label released his first recital recording of works by Janacek, Smetana and Prokofiev, and Naxos released his recording of works by H. W. Ernst. He plays a Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume violin made in 1855.
