CADENA SER. MENORCA RADIO - "The Del Valle Duo unleashes elegance at the Citadella Summer Music Festival"
August 13.
Anaïs Faner
... fulminating, stimulating, sublime and majestic music. In fact, in the 47th Summer Music Festival of JJMM, the Del Valle Duo opened the instrumental window wide, reeling more elegance than the silhouette of a galloping horse.
... a symbiosis so perfect that it suddenly cut the public's breath. However, this beginning was the clear demonstration of how these pianists are undeniably two cohesive and simultaneous magnets that carry music in their blood, of how their veins are magnetically written staves.

OPERA WORLD.- "Valderrama and Del Valle: romantic sparkles"
CD BRAHMS & FRANCK
June 13th 2019
GERMÁN GARCÍA TOMÁS
The violinist Ana María Valderrama and the pianist Víctor del Valle join forces in this brand new record work on the Eudora label...
Valderrama's violin, very timbred, with radiant luminosity and ineffable chanting, is associated with Del Valle's attentive pianism, which folds to the song of his companion with discretion and eloquence. Through these two sonatas, the two performers breathe in unison with the result of amazing fluency and musicality. In short, this is a fortunate recording that is destined to become the undisputed reference of the selected repertoire.

Ana María Valderrama, violin. Víctor del Valle, piano. Eudora, 2018
The "Scherzo" composed by Johannes Brahms for the sonata F.A.E. devised by Robert Schumann ... is the piece that opens a record full of incentives, both for the selection of the works and for the complicity and rigor shown by Ana Mª Valderrama, violin and Víctor del Valle, piano. Focusing on the work of two contemporary creators, the already named Johannes Brahms and Cesar Franck, this recording offers an immersion in the inner world of chamber music, in which intimate ties are established and cross-relationships insinuated.

CODALARIO.- Luis & Víctor del Valle: Mozart, Schubert and Brahms in Juan March Foundation
"FOUR HANDS, A PIANIST"
By Álvaro Menéndez Granda
Madrid. 24-X-2018. Juan March Foundation.
Only rarely do I enjoy the chamber music openly and truly ... But on October 24 it happened that, on the stage of the Juan March Foundation, two immensely talented musicians appeared who pulverized my music repairs for a small ensemble , initiating a concert of those that one does not easily forget. I mean Luis and Víctor del Valle ...
In short, a frankly brilliant concert. I do not want to stop congratulating brothers Luis and Víctor del Valle for their neat, meticulous and intelligent work. So it's nice to enjoy a program like this, committed, difficult and beautiful, and even more so when the level of cohesion between both performers is such that their four hands seem to belong to a single pianist who pursues and achieves his ideal. Bravo!

Ana Mª Valderrama and Víctor del Valle
Heraldo de Aragón- Luis Alfonso Bes
21 October 2018
Immeasurable interpretative passion ... Ana María Valderrama, with a natural violinistic school and an elegant position, had started the "Sonata for violin and piano nº 3" by Brahms, in a duet with the pianist Víctor del Valle showing an unusual expression. The duo achieved one of those unique and unrepeatable moments that music sometimes offers and that you have to know how to identify and enjoy in all its splendor. After moments "di bravura" from Del Valle's piano with strong heroic character, we hear romantic melodies, magnificently expressed by the duo.
