And can be regularly be heard and seen on Dutch National Television, Radio4, Klara and BR-KLASSIK. With different orchestras in The Netherlands he performed concertos by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff (2 & 3) and Gershwin. His debut album was released in 2013 with works of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms and was enthusiastically received by the Dutch press. The Volkskrant wrote: "A CD that grabs you through an awesome concentration and a beautifully developed sense of timing". The album with Chopin's Sonatas No. 2 & 3 is Nicolas' first on Gutman Records.
