Joris Van den Hauwe belongs to the unique circle of international oboe musicians. This compilation album provides a brief but beautiful summary of the various recordings he has made over the course of his career. “Yet this is only one aspect of me,” is the almost apologetic comment from the inspired and versatile musician. He was the first to perform the Sequenza for oboe by Luciano Berio in Belgium and also premiered many other modern works. He says, “I could easily fill an album with contemporary music.” Joris Van den Hauwe currently serves as a member of the Brussels Philharmonic.
