Lucas & Arthur Jussen

As Dutch boys this is a dream come true: this year we will be playing the Prinsengrachtconcert! Bring out your boats and come join us on the beautiful canals of Amsterdam or live on AVROTROS/NPO 2 on the 18th of August!⛵️

Unter dem Titel “Junge Wilde” werden herausragende junge Solisten über 3 Spielzeiten in Einzelkonzerten, in gemeinsamen Abenden und Education-Programmen in Schulen einem aufgeschlossenen Publikum vorgestellt.

The title refers to the inseparable – at least to the outside world – brothers, whose musical parts are often barely at odds with each other. How good is it? Possibly akin to John Adams.

Their wishes were amply granted with an obstinate, pounding family cadenza for pianos and timpani at the end of the work.

While they still dazzle, as ever, in the staple masterpieces, either on their own or together, they can also now be heard regularly performing large, often immensely difficult contemporary works. They’ve become true ambassadors for such pieces.

gleichzeitig diabolisch und engelsgleich setzen sie all ihre Karten auf die vollendete Show.”

The immensely likeable Jussen Brothers appear with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields at the Alte Oper

TWO handsome young Dutch fellows rather stole Thursday’s show (which will be broadcast on Monday evening) from their ongoing Michael Tippett symphony project, but conductor Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish did not appear to mind.

Die niederländischen Pianisten Arthur und Lucas Jussen haben ein Faible für bildhafte Musik verschiedener Epochen, wie sie mit ihrem aktuellen Album eindrucksvoll unter Beweis stellen.
