New album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
The great success of my first series "Valses melancoliques encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor.

Now I am more than happy to announce that the brilliant pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole series! Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!
