(…) the brothers are a crowd puller but most and for all because of their beautiful piano play. Both play with great respect for the composer. Beethoven’s music is interpreted so careful and yet so free. Both Lucas and Arthur take all the time they need for phrasing. They do not add any frills or exaggerated expression, but let the beauty of Beethoven’s piano music speak for itself. In the fourhanded pieces the balance is perfect and naturally enlightens the motives and themes. They play with an inescapable logic, with an entirely natural feeling for the music. Really fantastic. And the three encores as well. A majestic final of a successful ‘48 hours of Beethoven’.
