With the English Concert, he recorded all of J. S. Bach's harpsichord concertos, appearing as soloist, and most of the major Baroque repertoire for orchestra as well as all of Mozart's symphonies and some major choral works with the Choir of the English Concert. As a soloist, he has made some very highly regarded recordings of Bach's six partitas, Goldberg Variations, Italian Concerto and French Overture, and some of Scarlatti's sonatas amonst others. He has also recorded Bach's sonatas for violin and harpsichord, and violin and continuo with Rachel Podger.
