Furthermore, he was successful in an unprecedented project to perform all 240 pieces composed by Chopin in his lifetime in three days, which was released on DVD.
In 2020, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, they accomplished the great feat of performing all of the sonatas in two days and released a DVD of the entire performance.
