Then in 1985 came the tercentenary of the birth of Jean-Sebastien Bach. He was asked to return and perform his Play Bach compositions just about everywhere in Europe and also in the United States and Japan. He formed a new trio with percussionist André Arpino, and Vincent Charbonnier, a double-bassist still studying at the Paris Conservatoire. They worked on a new repertoire, which produced an amazing example of complicity between the three musicians and took their art to new unprecedented levels.

As has been the case throughout his career, he hallmarks his comeback with extremely varied musical styles. In 1986, he composed his first major symphonic work, "LUMIERES", a mass for soprano, alto, choir, percussion and orchestra. It was performed at the Festival of Liturgical Music at Paray-le-Monial in July 1987, conducted by J.P.Wallez and featuring James Bowman and Deborah Rees . It was given a rapturous reception by 2000 people and continues to be played across the world

Immediately afterwards, he composed successively a Concerto for trumpet, performed by Guy Touvron, a Concerto for violin dedicated to Jean Pierre Wallez, who performed the work at the Albi Festival in 1988, then the "Tableaux Vénitiens", a piece for strings.

In 1989, coinciding with the Bicentennial of the French Revolution, he composed the music for the "Trois couleurs" ballet of Serge Golovine and Claude Bessy. The Paris Opera School of Ballet performed this at the Grand Palais in Paris.
