Lucas & Arthur Jussen - Live in Baden-Baden 2021 (Mozart, Schubert, Shostakovich) 

Also, this performance of this piece was the best I have heard them both play it;

You make me cry. It is such a true statement. But he lives on through his beautiful and breathtaking music.

A mi me conmueve el corazon y el cerebro la fantasie de schubert en las manos de los prodigiosos jussen. Una maravilla para el alma.

For me, this is an introduction to the Jussen Brother’s masterful artistry of piano performance. This moves me as a pianist who’s recently relocated to a different region of the US at age 45, not currently having a partner for duo piano pieces, as I have all my life in Atlanta, GA. it moves me because, I have a younger brother- of whom I have not been able to reach him, see him or speak with him in over 3 years. While Tim isn’t a trained musician, he is very musically-able. If he’d truly dedicated himself to this- finest art and universal language, he would have and still could become a very talented pianist. For reasons I honestly have forgotten - he and I rarely got on well as children and far worse during adolescence- the only times I remember not arguing- were sitting next to each other, he taking an interest In some recital piece (for example. Chopin’s Raindrop prelude- he was taken by the delicate but constant repetitive note, emulating the sound of raindrops, in the form of 16th notes…lol. I still love that prelude. It is as beautiful as any piece penned by Chopin, from the Minute Valse to the Revolutionary Etude- and all the Polonaises- Raindrop remains ever-present in my musical memory. Because of obv beauty of the music - and bc of that time he chose to sit down, breath a few moments, and let me show him the simple repetition sequences of 16th note raindrops, which I then rearranged the piece slightly to allow for my brother to play secondo at that 10th grade piano recital. Tim and I had wildly dif priorities then, and now. But watching these brothers share - with eachother, and the audiences at large; their mastery of artistic performance on piano- hearing and seeing their ‘calls and responses’ inside musical phrases with all three beautiful musical pieces - along with the finest example of heavenly duo piano performance, out of two separate individuals, they are able to have their beautiful, 88 key instruments act as the seamless bonding agent, so flawlessly it brings tears of Joy, and of envy to my eyes. We don’t tend to truly appreciate the less obvious, “granted” gifts that occur in life. Changing that - ending my habits of taking thing for granted- has been a personal life struggle and limitless goal of mine. I know Tim won’t likely run across this video; but I wish I could find a way to reach him- and share this with him. Maybe witnessing these brothers - who seem to be closer than brothers, but best friends and kindred spirits interact, share their life, their art, their appreciation for each other so perfectly and beautifully as is so clearly evident and heart warming in this video.

@@c.j.mitchellenterprises2235 Chopins nocturne in Bbmin is stunning also. Really beautiful. The Fantasia is one of my favourite duets, wish I had someone to play it with. I play with a recording of each part which isn’t great,, better than nothing. Would love to have a duet partner who was the same level as me. I’m not good but I’m not a beginner either,

Hours of practicing will do that.

@@hrh4961 It was more than that. These brothers are emotionally and mentally attached I think.

@@johnbradbury4000 That's obvious. LOL

Theyve played together since Arthur was 5 & Lucas 7...so 20+ years of 'reading' ea other...I agree...I hear one unified expression...there are vids on YT of them at that early age...

Thank you, so touched to see your comment ❤

🤣😂🤣 ’ Kopfbalett’ 🤣😂🤣

This Fantasie is a challenge and a JOY to perform! Being a pianist, I have loved playing this with my friend and partner. You both are AMAZING!! Thank you always for your dedication and incredible sensitivity and talent at the 🎹 piano!! We, your fans love to watch, listen and hear the MAGIC you bring to your fans. God Bless.❤

a beautiful piece. I listened to it one night (Korean recital) and it kept me awake almost all night. But hey The emotion these boys put into it.....

@Martin OnTheWeb You're welcome :) They have fun and the are so in-tune with each other!

Thanks for the timings….agree with you re the Schubert…..exquisite interpretation . Amazing synchronicity

@@Esther3358 you're welcome :)

@Martin OnTheWeb Yes, when I first heard them (a long time ago) I thought they were twins too! But they are not, you are right.

@Martin OnTheWeb Yes, thank you :)

@@Soffity I think that there is no one in the hall so that this recording is without audience noises ?

@@anthonywallis1102 I thought I heard them interviewed and they said because of covid they couldn’t have an audience but they wanted to do a concert to stream anyway.

Koos Kotze -- .....and BRAVI ad ENTRAMBI from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca !

I agree and to enjoy it my lounge in Centurion South Africa🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Heavenly performance of the Schubert💐💐💐

Maintenant , et si vous avez des yeux et des oreilles , il y a les frères Jussen , et … les autres .

Only borderline genius? It may be an entirely appropriate word to describe these two. They are my favorite pianists.

agreed, to me it is obvious they have been studying bach and bach-ian technique, the middle section is completely different than 7 years ago

I wish I could understand interpretation and comment on it as you do, Richard B. It so much enriches listening. Thanks

I heartily agree with you Richard B. Their playing now is a wonderful intermingling, a symbiosis of youthful vigor, mature technique and interpretation, and ageless passion. Thank you, Arthur and Lucas.

Thank you!

Thank you for the Schubert time reference. It’s what I came here to hear.

its Schuberts last work and literally makes time stand still.@@jorjahbateman
