If this charming repertoire is complemented by exceptional soloists like Luis and Víctor del Valle, the result can only be a remarkable recording.

...the Dúo del Valle demonstrates the camaraderie that characterizes them, alternating precisely between the lighthearted, carefree touch-such as in the Rondeau from Mozart's concerto-and the rapid passages at the beginning of Poulenc's Allegro. I had the opportunity to hear their performance of this piece live, and it could very well be considered a reference version of the work.

"MUSIC IN SIANA. More than a waltz for two"

Pablo Siana
14/05/2024

Chamber Hall of the "Príncipe Felipe" Auditorium: Interdisciplinary Chamber Music Series of Oviedo (CIMCO). Dúo del Valle: "Vals for Two", Víctor del Valle (piano) and Luis del Valle (piano).

The "Malagueño" brothers began with three works by Poulenc... Impeccable tuning and uniformity of tone despite playing two different models of Steinway© with distinct sonorities, but in the hands of the brothers, closing our eyes, we heard a single instrument played by twenty fingers... four hands commanded as if guided by a single soul.

... with Scaramouche, Op. 165 (1937) by Milhaud, a true visual and sonic spectacle.

... a long hour of French performance created in "The Vienna of Spain" by these universal brothers.

LA CRÓNICA DE BADAJOZ. Piano four hands

This concert modality is not frequent, both in terms of composition and performance. It is different from the works for two pianos, since instead of two keyboards the performers have to share one. Well, last Thursday at the Palacio de Congresos de Badajoz and on Friday at the one in Mérida, the Orquesta de Extremadura, directed by its owner, Andrés Salado, addressed a program entirely dedicated to the 19th century composer Johannes Brahms, in which The "Concierto for four-handed piano and string orchestra" was performed with the brothers Víctor and Luis del Valle as exceptional interpreters. With a brilliant artistic record, the Duo del Valle showed their excellent rapport with an impeccable performance. In Badajoz, before the fourth and last movement, there was a brief interruption, both pianists retiring due to a slight indisposition of one of them, joining minutes later to conclude their excellent intervention with a tremendous finale.
