Wow, what a great performance!

I think it sounds great. There's a nice ambience which really fits the song for me. It has a fitting depth, but isn't so distant that you can't distinguish things. I still hear the subtleties in the piano just fine, and the flute feels comfortably out front.

It's fine. You're not too far away.

Wow, the piano has a great "cello-y" feel to it, wonderful presence and vibe. The flute is a touch further away from the pitcher's mound, not left field, more like shortstop. Seems like it's missing that air of distinctness that would wrap your attention around its little fingers. Is this one of these cases where a bit of breath noise, even key clicks, would make it all the more entrancing? Small quibble, though-- nice job.

Wow, that "young lady" can play!! Not just going correctly through the piece, she is musical.

Not too distant, but maybe I would wish for a position where both instruments project a bit more equally - flute completely overrides the piano at times, I don't think this is completely natural balance as one would "pick-up" by those superior microphones installed in our heads.
There is certainly one position where the mics would be able to approximate that balance. Or was the flute really that much louder than the piano?

The distance is fine with me - just wish for more detailed sound of piano - just a tiny bit, not a lot...

Wow, a really nice capture of an wonderful performance. I like the balance 'cause I imagine the recital was really about the flautist - i.e the recording was for her benefit?

I don't know why young women persist with those spagetti-strap dresses in recitals though - not suitable work wear in this instance

sounds great on my small mono tivoli audo speaker.....volume aplenty and a nice clean recording...good dynamic and tone...just fine.

I suspect that the piano being a little "short" lends to it sounding artificially distant. A spot pair on the piano might have helped, but looking at the video, I'm guessing that wasn't an option.

It still sounds good, if she's pleased I wouldn't worry about it.
