He has since performed all over the world, and has been highly praised for his beautiful lyric tenor voice, elegant and intelligent expression, and rich musicality, especially for his works by Mozart. He also showed excellent interpretations of songs and religious music, and since the 1970s he has also been active as a conductor of religious music and other genres. He first came to Japan in 1974. He retired from the opera stage in 2000, but continued to work as a concert singer and conductor for several years after that.
