The Jussens have played only one prior American gig, with the Dallas Symphony in 2010. Warren-Green worked with them in Europe and invited them to play a concerto here that’s a bit of a tough sell but an easy listen in the right hands. Mozart was about Lucas’ age when he wrote it, probably to play with his sister, Nannerl. It never wanders far in its moods from the delicate, cheerful opening, but the Jussens fully explored its limited range. (You had to wait for their encores to hear them set off fireworks, squeezed onto the same piano bench at one keyboard.)
If they were once prodigies, perhaps somewhat in the mold of the composer himself, they aren’t now: They’re intelligent musicians with valuable things to say and the skill to say them.
