Arthur Jussen - Schubert Impromptus Opus 90 No.2+3 

Ich bin bald 80, verehre alle Pianisten, die Weltruf haben, aber Arthur ist so jung und spielt mit so viel innerem Gefühl, man muss ihn einfach lieb haben für so viel wunderbare Musik

The Jussens are GORGEOUS and enormously talented.

His playing gives me an emotional 'high' which I cannot explain. I am truly honored to be able to listen to such an artist!

Arthur played this lovely work clearly and sensitively. Thank you for this treat.

This young man's playing leaves me breathless. Literally. Unbelievably beautiful.

Beauty beauty beauty everywhere - for the eyes, ears and heart. Jussen enchantment

Absolute beauty... Brings tear to my eyes..

The Vladimir Horowitz recording of the 3rd Schubert Op 90 Impromptu, in G-flat, is the most sublime I have ever heard, played more slowly than most, and with exquisite lyricism and phrasing by one of the very greatest pianists of the 20th century. In this Schubert impromptu, which he recorded at age 84 in Vienna, Horowitz played with a much different kind of virtuosity than he was known for in his youth. I am now listening to the then 19 year old Arthur Jussen play the same piece, and I am both amazed and grateful that we have a young master among us. His recording is the closest I have ever heard to the Horowitz in terms of phrasing, lyricism, pure beauty. BZ, Arthur, from an old US Navy ship driver.

I am overwhelmed by his musicianship and technique but then his soul surpasses it all

Arthur plays with all his heart, and so young he is a prodigy

What's it like to have the whole world at your feet. Everyone loves you both.

No doubt, no doubt, this pianist is the best playing Shubert. Bravo!!!! Such apparent feelings, like glittering gold thrown in the fountain. Bravo!!!!

Musicaliteit, intelligentie, genialiteit en bescheidenheid, alles komt samen in deze prachtige uitvoering

Arthur plays so beautifully, I am so glad he is out there with so much intelligence and sensitivity, sharing his gifts with the world! I'm not sure I've ever hear these impromptus done so excellently!

I just listened to another perfectly competent performance of these two works and wondered why they left me so unmoved. So I listened to this performance again, and this time what struck me most was the expressive use of dynamics: both horizontally (in terms of the phrase arc) and vertically (between the hands). Singly or together, these brothers are just utterly perfect in everything they play, down to the minutest detail! I'm awestruck all over again! They are such a treasure.

I have never heard more lyrical performances than this. Your playing gives me comfort.

Dear Arthur, that unique Schubert célébration is m'y Christmas gift 2018. Thanks a million. May God bless and keep you in His Love for ever. Take good care and be happy.

I listen to his interpretation everyday... So much musicality !

He has grown so much more in beauty of playing and beauty of person in the last 6 years. To me, one of the potential true greats of this coming generation. I'd love to see him and Seong-Jin Cho collaborate!

The left hand in no. 3 is perfection supporting the melody.

I've noticed that the brothers together or separately, in the way their bodies move and in their facial expressions, must feel the music in an almost physical way; remarkable. It's as if each of them enters a reverie at the start of the piece and only comes out of it at the end; the way they close their eyes is part of the feeling.

So brilliantly musical and inspiring. Mooving and simply gorgeous, God-gifted young man. A million thanks for such a gift wishing you the best for all those years to come.

I listen to this clip every day. Thank you so much, Arthur Jussen, for these sublime moments.

Arthur makes piano sing. Pure joy!

Previous decades had masters like Horowitz, Rubinstein playing Schubert. Now we have Jussen. Sublime playing. And also the wonderful Valentina Lisitsa.

Met ontroering geluisterd naar dit mooie emotionel spel van deze jongeman! Dank Arthur!!!

Number 3, starting at 5:40, is just beautiful. Arthur is on the same level as great masters that excelled on this piece, such as Alfred Brendel, Maria Joao Pires or Valentina Lisitsa. Delicate touch, expressive interpretation. Bravo!

such a great pianist and a musical performer. very expressive and sensitive. I love watching him.

Arthur shows complete union with these Impromptus. He is the Impromptus. I admire his complete understanding, control, and union with what he plays! Ah, to have such memorization abilities.

This is so beautiful! So heartfelt and lovingly beautiful. Thank you for all of your performances.

PERFECTION! Perfect tempo(it's often played too slowly), expression, dynamics, mood. Bravo!

I´ve seen both brother playing several times now. They are great and the future will give them many oportunitiies around the world

This is certainly the best interpretation of this wonderful Schubert's impromptu... Marvellous👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Arthur, my best compliments from Italy!!!! I'm your fan😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent playing! His rendition of Impromptu no. 3 becomes my favourite!

I absolutely love his playing. Prachtig

He is WONDERFUL!!!

It feels as if he was born to play this very music❤️

All of God's gifts in one person....so beautiful!

I really look up to this guy. Simply amazing...

Unbelievably beautiful. Bravo, Arthur!

he's a great artist and a young god, making his way into the Olymp.

Cher Arthur, ta brillante compréhension de ce chef-d'oeuvre d'impromptus du Grand Maître Schubert fait de toi un être d'exception. Bravissimo et, à tous égards, que la vie ne t'apporte essentiellement que succès et bonheurs. Cordiales salutations à partager avec Lucas.

ARTHUR, is a blessing 🙏GOD gave to this 🌎💝

Very beautiful.

Wat is dit toch mooi en zo heerlijk gevoelig voorgedragen, bravo Arthur!! Dank je.

Stunning performances!

Arthur plays with a passion somewhat veiled until full expression explodes in unequaled drama. I am both soothed and soar to new heights by his sensitivity and interpretation. Thank you for the quintessential concert

Young man, you are simply great. Gorgeous. Shubert is your second best, Chopin being your first. Keep going so great an so humble. Bravissimo.

Beaucoup d'émotion dans le jeu de ces excellents artistes !

What a lovely piece! Thanks for hearing it in this beautiful representation! :)

Prachtig!! Wat een rijkdom, en wat een mooi mens, (net als zijn broer en ouders) Een groot voorbeeld voor onze Jannick!

On a par with the greatest pianists of the past like Horowitz, Rubinstein. Brilliant playing of these 2 sublime pieces.

Wonderful and expressive interpretations of these works.

As a competitive classical pianist, all I want in the world is to meet these two and have a conversation about piano with them

Im proud of this fellow dutchman. He is on par with the great pianists . He plays with al lot of feeling, passion and the right accents. Really amazing!

Einfach wunderschön - vielen Dank !!

非常にバランスが良い音そして透明感のある音色、タッチも軽くそして２番では、倍音が、素敵で聞き惚れました。

Arthur, deine Hände sind Goldstaub!

Bravo plus!Beautifully played heavenly Schubert!

I think he plays with great musicality

One of my most favorite is the third impromtu, and he plays it so well.

Immer wieder vielen Dank. Noch einmal bin Ich gluecklich.

Excellent.

Magnifique interprétation qu'elle sensibilité j aime tellement Schubert. Merci pour ce moment hors du. Temps

Just pure perfection, beautifully interpreted.

The articulacy of each note in the first piece, married with the clean pedalling created the impression of pearls. Wonderful. The performance of the second piece was equally measured and presented beautiful colour. If this is how he performs now, goodness know how incredible his output will be when he is in his forties and fifties. Something to treasure in the future. I shall be watching both brothers and hope to see them play in person one day. All my best to you, Arthur, and to your esteemed brother. 🙂

totally refreshed and inspired to practice. thank you!

wow ..i loved his interpretation ..beautiful !

Arthur is the golden boy of Anyone's dream.

Fenomenaal !

Wonderful interpretation

Fantastisch, wunderschön. Vielen herzlichen Dank!🎼🤗👍🌻

This is the best I've ever heard

Master Arthur, with Schubert as well as with Chopin, you always seem at your best. Always so properly dressed and at ease, you make everyone feel comfortable and in the best of moods. It's always a great pleasure to see and to hear you at a grand piano. Is Québec Cité somewhere in your plans, in the near future? In awaiting, I wish you the best and please share my heartfelt greetings with your dear brother Lucas. You two gifted young men, please take good care and be happy.

Bravo MAESTRO

A beautiful performance.

So Beautiful 💚💕

You hit the #3 perfectly my young friend - exactly the right expression - on target, thank you for this unbelievably en pointe rendering - just one added little note - now...let go completely, hold nothing back in the release of the thought and emotion. God bless you both.

Weerom zo ontroerend mooi!

Bravo!! 👏 👏 👏 It is a true masterpiece and I love his interpretation😭❤🌹

Now I have added this performance to my list of favorite versions of Schubert's Impromptu in G flat, together with those of Brendel, Kempff and Lipatti. No particular order.
