We greatly enjoyed your performances at the Summerfest too. Our thanks to all who make sharing your music possible. Our very best wishes for your studies, happiness and success at the Julliard School. We always enjoy with anticipation your latest performance. Perhaps one day we shall be able to attend somewhere in the world and listen live!! All the best for 2011.

Hello Dominique and Valerie. Your earlier performance of the Gluck began our journey with you two years ago.

Keep making your beautiful music.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

So great together! I really like Shostakovich's Waltz. Beautiful!

Every time I think I know which instrument (flute or piano, violin or piano) these two should focus on, they make me change my mind again.

Emmanuel Pahud couldn't have played the "Spirits" better, and of course Valerie was excellent as accompanist.

The dynamics and phrasing of the Waltz are superb. If you want a bigger challenge, try playing it in its native key of C minor.

Absolutely beautiful playing, Dominique - I especially enjoyed the Gluck because it was one of the pieces on the very first classical music CD I owned =) It's nice to see that you have your own channel! Maybe that now you and Valerie are NYC I might actually be able to listen to you live at some point =) Are you and Valerie continuing to study your two instruments equally? Or have you each chosen an instrument for primary study at Juilliard?
