Lucas & Arthur Jussen

“Formidable storytellers, who captivate listeners with their spellbinding craft for light-and-shadow effects”

- DER TAGESSPIEGEL

“You realise that this is not usual. This is not just two good pianists playing together. They sense each other’s smallest, individual little bit of interpretation.”

- SIR NEVILLE MARRINER

STRAVINSKY “Le Sacre du Printemps” – Version for Piano Four Hands

<hr>

The Jussen brothers are among the most sought-after piano duos of our time. With their energetic, almost symbiotic playing, their great refinement of sound, and gripping interpretations, they are praised vigorously by press and audiences alike. Appearing as soloists with the world’s most prestigious orchestras it is fair to say the Jussen brothers (born 1993 and 1996) are the Netherland’s pre-eminent ambassadors for classical music.

Recording exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon since 2010, their debut album of Beethoven works achieved platinum status and earned the Edison Klassiek Audience Award. “It is like driving a pair of BMWs” exclaimed conductor Michael Schønwandt about the two pianists after directing them in concert.

With works for four hands by Mozart, Schubert and Mendelssohn, culminating with the the elemental force of Stravinsky’s monumental Le Sacre du Printemps for four hands, this concert will be one to remember.
