Seit der Saison 2005/06 ist er Gastdirigent und künstlerischer Berater des Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. Seitdem gab er ausgesprochen erfolgreich Konzerte in Wien, Ljubljana, Zagreb, San Sebastian und Paris, wo ihm vom französischen Kritikerverband für ein Konzert mit Magdalena Kožená am Théâtre des Champs-Elysées die Auszeichnung „Révélation musicale de l'année“ verliehen wurde.
