Poulenc, about to compose his "Concerto for two pianos": "F*ck the rules! I'll show them how sassy and saucy classical music can be! I'll take the most unsophisticated, corniest tunes and dip them in spicy orchestral sauce, and they will lick their fingers and smear not one, but TWO keyboards, with the spectacularly yummy result!" And god, aren't these two naughty boys and their orchestra gang sharing the feast 😋

Everything about this was EXQUISITE!!! The Duo is as we all know sensational but a fantastic orchestra and Maestro backing them and the Superb recording engineers. Everything in tandem is just immaculate. Kudos to everyone!

[scottxu]

Poulenc could not have imagined a more handsome pair as his pianists.

[jlb]

They play as one. I have never seen anything like this! And what a glorious orchestra!!!! Bravi tutti!

[galinakrivulin]

Irresistibly delicious Francis Poulenc: Concerto for Two Pianos performed by Lucas and Arthur Jussen with hr-Sinfonieorchester under the baton of the amazing conductor Alan Altinoglu!
The two brothers are known to be sparkling pianists and one can expect fireworks whenever they are playing.

Enchanting and exquisite!

Thank you all.

[knockshinnoch]

The brothers are sensational and with such a fantastic orchestra we had synergy

[arminschoof]

Kann ich immer wieder mit Interesse und großer Freude hören - und auch sehen. Musik voll lebendiger Einfälle, von den Solisten und vom Orchester unglaublich gut und mitreißend gespielt.

[oluapingo]

Watching these two guys play together is such a fun experience. It's not only the music (which they do with so much competence and fire) but also their fun and warm personality that is clearly visible on every single gesture.

[mariaashot]

Can't wait to hear them in person! Thank you to the wonderful family that raised these two brilliant young geniuses!

[Joe]

Soloists, orchestra, conductor, and composer combine for an extraordinary performance. Bravissimo!

[vascombvanzeller]

The brothers again the same magic again !!! the refined technique and interpretation again !!! the same overwelming pleasure to watch and listen to !!!😍😍😍

[hendrikbotha]

Just discovered this performance. WOW!! I've listened to it three times in a row now. These pianists and the orchestra give it a unique freshness and sparkle but my accolade goes to the producer, photographers and sound engineers. The sound and vision are immaculate with a wide and pristine soundstage. Fantastic work!

[LisaKTownsend]

[LJB]

I really enjoyed this. I was lucky enough to have attended a 2019 Boston Symphony concert where the brothers performed this concerto.

[Mezzotenor]

Omagoodness... I thought the brothers Jussen couldn't improve on the Concertgebouw performance under Denève, but I'm delighted by this one. Maestro Altinoglu is to be praised for his contribution, but for once I have to say that Frankfurt's sound engineers and video crew have given us a feast of delicious details. Someday you Hessian Radio folks are going to tempt me into a visit to Frankfurt. When that happens, it's best to alert the restaurants, because I'm a big eater. 😉

🎼 I am completely mesmerized. Extraordinary. Thank you for posting.🎼🎶🎶

[ГалинаГалкина-цщ]

Это невероятно красиво! Потрясающе! Снова и снова пересматриваю, братья и оркестр великолепны!
