The album Saint-Saëns: l’Explorateur was recently released on Sonarti Records. It features works by Camille Saint-Saëns with my colleagues Guillaume Sutre (violin), and Kyunghee Kim-Sutre (Harp). Here is a video excerpt of his Étude en Forme de Valse, a very playful work for solo piano. Check out the full album on Spotify as well!

NEW ALBUM RELEASE with music by Saint-Saens!
This new album, released in July 2021 on Sonarti Records, features works by the great French composer Camille Saint-Saens; I am joined for this project with my longtime collaborates and friends Kyunghee Kim-Sutre (harp) and Guillaume Sutre (violin).
The great Fantasie for harp solo and and for harp-violin open the album; followed by three very charming mazurkas and the brilliant Etude en forme the Valse for solo piano; and then the album finishes with the Elegie opus 143 and the first Violin Sonata opus 75. This music is very dear to my heart and I am very excited to share this music with you all!

New review of the recent solo album, Ferruccio Busoni; l’Énigme, on Musicologie.org by Marc Warszawski.
Nouvelle recension du dernier disque de Steven Vanhauwaert, “Ferruccio Busoni, L’Énigme” (HORTUS 191), à lire sur le site de Jean-Marc Warszawski.
“Cette musique, originale, donne l’impression d’une simplicité servie par une technique et des possibilités virtuoses transcendantes. Il y a un sentiment d’intimité touchant et attachant, mais aussi la présence d’un grand architecte”
