Musical Dialogues at the Piano
That’s what you call blind trust: When Lucas and Arthur Jussen sit together at the piano in the Fürst-von-Metternich-Saal, they don’t even need eye contact to understand each other. The two Dutch brothers have long been considered among the most extraordinary piano duos of their generation. Their major recent successes—from their residency with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra to their acclaimed interpretation of “their” Carmina Burana and numerous international performances—testify to their musical excellence and popularity with audiences. After a three-year hiatus, they are now returning to the Rheingau! With youthful freshness, flawless technique, and remarkable musical depth, they shape every work into a subtle dialogue—two brothers who miraculously become one when they play. Their program ranges from Mozart’s captivating clarity to Schumann’s romantic soundscape, the impressionistic colors of Ravel and Debussy, and the passionate exuberance of Rachmaninoff. In doing so, they combine precision and expressiveness with a fascinating balance between intellect and emotion, transforming every piece into a lively dialogue, carried by that brotherly intimacy that makes their playing so distinctive.
