Since 1975, he has conducted and popularised many of his father's lesser-known works.

During his tenure as principal conductor, he conducted the premiere of his father's Fifteenth Symphony on 8 January 1972.

On 12 April 1981, he defected to West Germany, and then later settled in the United States. After spells conducting the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra he returned to St. Petersburg. In 1992, he made an acclaimed recording of the Myaskovsky Cello Concerto with Julian Lloyd Webber and the London Symphony Orchestra for Philips Classics.
