In a very successful career he appeared in operas and in concerts in Austria and Germany, and was engaged for many years at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna.

[1][2] Through the mediation of Johann Nepomuk Hummel he was engaged in 1810 with the court orchestra of Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy at Eisenstadt.

He subsequently appeared in operas including Hérold's Zampa, Rossini's Otello and William Tell, Donizetti's Belisario, Bellini's Norma and Auber's Fra Diavolo.

[2][4] His biographer in the Biographisches Lexikon des Kaiserthums Oesterreich (1888) wrote: "His sounds were praised for rare tonal beauty, strength and fullness; they always flowed easily, naturally and unforced from his mouth.

An indescribable melting and harmonious sound was combined with a strength and fullness, which gave to his voice that pithy timbre that penetrated to the heart with irresistible power, and the ear that heard it once never again forgot it.
