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!
Fabulous. I played this last night in the garden with my 3 yo granddaughter Abigail on my farm at the base of Mt. RAINIER and 5 yo grandson Samuel ...they were both mesmerized by these brilliant brothers. I could see them imagining themselves playing on the piano I bought them for their house in Seattle. Thanks Google You Tube and these beautiful musicians in Europe. What a world we live in with such Devine transcendent beauty and accomplishment and horrible barbaric war. 😂😊
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.
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.
The brothers again !!!!!!!!!!!!!! the same magic again !!! the refined technique and interpretation again !!! the same overwelming pleasure to watch and listen to !!!😍😍😍
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.
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 😋
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!
Wunderschöne und lebhafte Aufführung dieses außergewöhnlichen Konzerts mit milden pianistischen Tönen der beiden Pianisten und orchestralen Nuancen des Orchesters sowie dirigistischem Dirigat durch Maestro Altinoglu. Wahrlich wundervoll!
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. 😉
This was superb-even better than their previous concerto years' ago. Nice not having to hunt around You tube to find each movement, The sound here was infinitely better, thanks.
L'un des chefs d'oeuvre de Poulenc et de la musique française, joué avec un engagement et une tonicité inouïes, presque trop, mais en fait non, quelle pulsation sur le 1er mouvement ! Exact, la prise de son et les exécutants au top 🎩 bravo bravo , merci !
Sehr nuanciertes Spiel mit präziser Bearbeitung des vielfältigen Tempo-Wechsels - im Einklang auch mit der orchestralen Begleitung. Höhen und Tiefen gut dirigiert!
Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses einzigartigen doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klaren doch warmherzigen Klänge beider technisch perfekten Soloklaviere sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch beweglich. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!
Thanks for the upload. Another great work from the underrated Francis Poulenc. Not of course underrated by those who know great music outside the core repertoire. One of my favourite works for piano and orchestra - absolutely wonderful.
Underrated? He's deservedly known and regarded. About where he belongs, I'd say. Not like Shostakovich or Stravinsky, maybe, but he wasn't as big a composer.
To sum up: There is not a Swiss watch manufactured which surpasses the precision of this pianism. I don't even like to call the Jussens "duo pianists", as their synchronization is absolute, unerring, and becomes "as one". Technique, here, becomes a trivial topic, so why delve into the obvious and paste accolades upon accolades? The paucity of pedal, bringing to bear the utter clarity of the voicing and phrasing ... the subjective elements, the feeling the interpretation ... this encompassing result forces me to restate what I had said in the beginning: A Swiss watch is no better made, but that mechanism does lack the passion which Jussen possesses. - David Lyga
Sublime musique...J'écoute Poulenc depuis 50 ans et je ne m'y ennuie jamais, sauf peut $être son "Dialogue avec les carmélites" le double concerto est sublime
Without doubt the most divine piano duo on the face of the earth. And in all respects they look like supermen. Do all Dutch people realize they come from the Netherlands?
Not all, but they have been on Dutch TV many many times. Just one example, when they were on one popular TV show for the 11th time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-71_6sLimOuI.html
Ich habe keine Ahnung wenn ich satt von diesen zwei Musikern werde, oder von dieser Poulencs Version😊. Ich finde Poulencs Musik ist zu wenig gespielt. Oder vielleicht wohne ich in der falschen Gegend😅.
Я играла этот концерт с напарником , под него был поставлен балет для kc ballet. Это легкий концерт, для 7 класса муз.школы, там нет сложной техники или моментов требующих виртуозности,ВООБЩЕ. Но играть приятно, а ребята очень уж «трудятся» с чего так потеют , не пойму,шоу одним словом.кстати, помню, что выучила этот концерт , не имея инструмента дома, лёгкий концерт.
Ася Даня ну что если это правда значит я ничего не понимаю в исполнительском мастерстве,а все-таки вы незаслуженно скромничаете, а она говорят что украшает,значит вы прихорошели
What a delight it is to hear Poulenc's music is still played while the turgid goo that Schoenberg and his myriad followers were writing at the same time has been finally found to be a dead end in the history of music and left on the shelf.
Back in action everybody plizzzzzz, enjoying Renaissance spirit we need the most, Spring time reminds us how life is regenerating and that is what we need to believe in. Now you realize how being multi national brings so much luck, a nice French composer in Frankfurt for a very Dutch interpretation, l love it guys, wishing you other hundred years more like this on the top of the world...now, tell me how did Covid global apocalypse scared the shhhh...it out of you all? Yeah, looking back in time gives me creeps....if there's any God out there to be so cruel and...unhuman, well, as survivors we feel like touching the skies in heaven... which means, there's no disaster we can not manage, you just be strong and put music to your hearts, any other death threat, It will help us be stronger and ... hanging on things that make life worth living because just this adorable. If you try to imagine the Poulenc audience...when most powerful men were like Putin, obsessed with war disputes, seeking for enemies to fight against even for screwing someone else's land, properties, savings, even screwing his wife, think about it guys, trying to defend human rights is never enough, we just follow the classical composers spirit, sounds like a Holy Mission still today, big loving hug awesome performers indeed, pull out the maximum emotional impact we need the most
