Jozef De Beenhouwer is a Belgian pianist renowned for his profound interpretations and diligent scholarship in the realm of Romantic piano music, with a particular emphasis on German and Flemish composers. Born in Antwerp, De Beenhouwer has not only made a name for himself as a performer but also as an authority on the works of composers like Clara Schumann, for whom he has a pronounced affinity. His deep exploration of her oeuvre culminated in the release of "Clara Schumann: Klavierwerke" and "Clara Schumann: Complete Songs," both of which have been acclaimed for their delicate balance of fidelity to the score and expressive musicianship.

Beyond his affinity for the Schumanns, De Beenhouwer has distinguished himself as an eminent interpreter of other seminal Romantic composers, as well as championing the works of lesser-known artists such as Lodewijk Mortelmans and Ludwig Schuncke. His album "In Flanders' Fields 19: Songs and Piano Music by Lodewijk Mortelmans" is a testament to his commitment to unearth and share Flemish musical heritage, receiving praises for his meticulous remastering and passionate playing. Whether performing the intimate songs of Richard Strauss in "Ich Trage Meine Minne" or the lush, emotional landscapes of Duparc in "Extase - Complete Songs of Henri Duparc," Jozef De Beenhouwer's virtuosity and deep musical understanding make his recordings and performances a treasure trove for classical music enthusiasts.
