He has made numerous recordings of Danish music with composers from Lange-Müller, Kuhlau, Gade, and Hartmann through Nielsen to Schierbeck and Poul Ruders. His recording of Strauss' opera Salome was nominated the 1999 Gramophone Award as best Twentieth Century Opera Recording of the Year, and his Dacapo recording of the Nielsen First and Sixth symphonies received the Danish Music Award 2000.
