His playing style frequently emphasizes the intellectual and architectural aspects of the music, avoiding excessive romanticism in favor of a more restrained and probing approach.

The Edmundsburg is a historic building forming part of the Universität Salzburg. Originally constructed as a Benedictine monastery in the 17th century – founded in 1112 – it served religious purposes for centuries before being secularized during the Napoleonic era. It became part of the University in 1963 and now primarily houses departments related to Catholic Theology and Education. The building’s architecture reflects its long history, showcasing Baroque elements alongside later renovations. Its concert hall, situated within the former monastic complex, offers a unique acoustic environment due to its historical construction and spatial qualities. The space is regularly used for academic ceremonies and cultural events alongside musical performances.
