His recordings are highly regarded, despite their not being of studio sound quality in most cases. He was said to be the only rival Horowitz ever feared. Due to health reasons, he spent most of his life teaching in Cairo. His finest pupil is Henri Barda, and he also taught Edward Said and Prince Hassan Aziz Hassan.
