In 2002, he won the Académie de musique du Québec’s Prix d’Europe, which had not been given to an organist since 1966. In 2003 he was awarded an Opus Prize in the category Discovery of the Year. He has already made nine recordings, which have won a number of prizes and the praise of critics, and most recently, he has released, on the ATMA Classique label, the first recording of the complete works of Charles Tournemire.
