'No search has been made for any musicological connection between the various works; I chose them simply because I love them – enjoy your listening!

'I was ten years old and my father let me choose my own musical instrument, I listened really carefully to all the different instruments on an LP – and I heard the horn solo in Wagner's Siegfried Idyll. I was so enchanted by the horn's deep, noble and warm sound that I didn't need to listen any further ... my mind was made up and I committed myself totally to the instrument! Playing the horn became part of my daily life – and I continued to enjoy making music during my time in high school. This led, logically enough, to studies at the Antwerp and Brussels conservatories, after which I played horn in several important Belgian orchestras.

'I decided to give up my orchestral positions and to switch to the freelance world some ten years later; it was then that I began to teach horn at the Ghent conservatory, later transferring to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. These are blissful times for me: I get to teach talented young horn players and to make music in various ensembles at home and abroad with wonderful colleagues who are passionate about the music.

'Today I am so grateful that I still get to play the horn ... "the endless search for different sounds, moods and colours is so beautiful that it gently pushes you towards greater inner peace, more connection and love!" With the exception of Robert Schumann's 3 Fantasiestücke, op.73 (arr. Kazimierz Machala), and Sergei Rachmaninov's Vocalise, op.34 (arr. William Kuyper), all the works recorded here were originally written for the horn.'
