His New World recording with Randall Hodgkinson, "Leo Ornstein: Complete Works For Cello and Piano," was named one of the top 10 classical recordings of 2007 by the All Music Guide. In Boston he is heard regularly at Jordan Hall as principal cellist of the New England String Ensemble and as resident cellist for the Composers Conference at Wellesley College held every summer. Gordon has played recitals in New York City's Merkin Hall, Weill Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art, as well as at the University of California at San Diego and the University of Maryland at College Park.
