- Clarinet sonatas by Mieczyslaw Weinberg and Sergei Prokofiev
- Belle époque, works by Claude Debussy , Manfred Trojahn , Gabriel Pierné , Johannes Brahms and Charles-Marie Widor
A reviewer of the recordings on CD Belle époque speaks of a great sensitivity of Van Wauwe's phrasing and emphasizes the first recording of Rhapsody by Trojahn, whose Capricio is a tightrope act for the soloist, which she has mastered with serenity. Another describes Van Wauwe's playing as consistently very good with a clear and bright sound and calls her an outstanding clarinetist.
