On Saturday evening, the young Dutch prodigies Lucas (20) and Arthur Jussen (16) were the stars of the concert at the CCS. An audience of 750 listeners showered the two brothers with sustained applause.
Leipziger Volkszeitung – June 10, 2013 Tatjana Böhme-Mehner
Lucas and Arthur Jussen – one of the most promising young piano duos – play Maurice Ravel’s “Ma Mère l’Oye”, presenting sensitively and delicately as well as with routine the fine and colorful structures of these pieces for children. They made you want to bathe in this tone fairy-tale full of sensuousness and transparency. Harmony and profundity demonstrate the paradox of these virtuoso pieces for children. Lucas and Arthur Jussen are also the soloists in Colin McPhee’s quirky “Tabuh-Tabuhan”. The three-movement work is titled “Toccata for Orchestra and Two Pianos”.
