    Julius Baker said "some day I'll be able to say I played with you." He would be proud indeed.

    Magnifique! J’apprécie particulièrement le son si rond de cette flute, c’est tellement rare! ❤️

    YES!! BRILLIANT!! I remember back in school, 19 I think. My teacher rejected the main piece I chose for the semester and handed me this. I actually asked her if she was crazy. But I had no choice. I learned it and it became one of my favorite pieces to perform. Great marks for my jury as well. Mimi I think yours is probably my favorite rendition. Thank you so much as always for sharing your talent with us. The pianist was amazing as well.

    Mimi, I wish that I could have heard this performance live. Not only is your tone about the bext that I've heard you produce I think that the balance between the various lines is very well played. congratulations on an excellent performance.

    Among the many performances of this great piece I have heard played by various flutists yours is definitely at least one of the best, or could be the best.

    Magnificent! (And kudos to your accompanist! I've played this accompaniment, and I know it's not easy!)

      It's not an "accompaniment," nor is he an "accompanist" here. This is a full fledged virtuosic DUO for piano and flute by a great master composer. Of all pieces to call a pianist an accompanist, this is not one of them, by any stretch of the imagination.

    Absolutely an amazing performance. My only thing is that the room is so very live. The piano shouldn't have had the lid all the way up. It came off a little too loud. So it seemed like the flutist had to always push her dynamics. Loud loud loud. There are actually more dynamic contrasts than we heard. Still a BRILLIANT performance.

      This is really a piano piece with flute accompaniment.

    • @djmotise

      I respectfully disagree. I don't notice any imbalance. Nor did the flutist play "loud loud loud." I'm a pianist, and I'm always listening for balance, and I am cautious not to cover another performer. I don't hear a piano that is too loud. In fact, I didn't even notice the lid is fully opened till you mentioned it. (I wasn't watching while listening.) I'm not negating your observations and comments. I'm offering my own.
      It's also hard to tell from a TH-cam upload. Also, closing a piano lid to half stick etc is not necessarily a solution to a piano that may be too loud. And an open lid allows for the full tone of the instrument to resonate properly. Also, the recital hall doesn't strike me as an overly reverberant space that is the cause of any possible imbalance. What you may be noticing is likely the texture of the fast variations in the piano, which are full and bravura. A pianist needs freedom to play openly and without reservation in such passages. Yes, perhaps a closed lid would reduce some of that volume, but at what cost to the other variations? One would lose bass resonance and treble beauty, which are also often needed as support for a flutist.
      And there's the issue of the piece being a true piano duo, so since a pianist would play any solo Schubert sonata with the lid open, then the same should be done for this piece. Just my opinions. Sometimes balance is a subjective thing.

    Vorzüglich. Allerdings, mitunter, wenn das Klavier dominiert, wird sie nachlässig!
