Znan je bil predvsem kot čelist, udejstvoval pa se je tudi kot komponist in dirigent. Občasno je nastopal v triu z Alfredom Cortotom (klavir) in Jacquesom Thibaudom (violina).

Koncertiral je po vsem svetu, znan je bil po do najmanjše podrobnosti izdelanem podajanju. Velja za zgled verne, a vendar osebno poudarjene interpretacije.

Po zmagi generala Franca je živel v prostovoljnem izgnanstvu, delno v Pradesu v francoskih Pirenejih, delno v Portoriku. V Pradesu je leta 1950 ustanovil festival.
