He has made numerous live recordings, including playing Maurice Ravel's Erard for Canal 2 in France, for Radio Classica in Madrid and in South America where his performances of Mozart and Chopin's two piano concertos with the Symphonic Orchestras of Venezuela, Lima, and Cuba, were broadcast by several national television networks.

In Europe, Adolfo has given recitals in numerous capital cities, performing at Gasteig in Munich and at the Chamber Music Festival in Prague as well as concerts in collaboration with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, the National RTV Romanian Orchestra and the Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana. Recent tours have encompassed Japan and the Channel Isles. A Steinway Artist, this will be Adolfo's fourth concert at Hammerwood.
