In 1961, he won Grammy Awards for Best Engineered Album, Classical and Best Chamber Music Performance. The following year he won Grammy Awards for Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Duo and Best Contemporary Classical Composition.

In 1965 he won Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance - Large Group or Soloist with Large Group.
