Not to dismiss that they play superbly and as one, but I could not spot a single eye contact between them in the entire movement. Lucas closes the eyes a lot, Arthur glances at the conductor, but...

These boys are brilliant; not just because of their maturity/age but because they share a rare gift of likemindedness that makes them one. Never heard such an extraordinary duo.
Poulenc is one of those great composers of the 20th c, who should be heard far more often. Absolutely unique style and such a versatile composer. Thanks for the upload.
It's incredibly annoying that his music, or let's say at least this concerto, isn't more popular. The concerto is well beyond the status of a masterpiece.
The very best performance of this delightful piece bar none: even composer performance. Brilliant technique and young uninhibited fingers play into the youthful, exuberant, and brilliant world of Poulenc. Lucas and Arthur should be proud!!!!!
I am a HUGE fan of Argerich and i came here after someone posted on Argerich’s performance « go listening to Jussen’s perf » and i have to admit this is by far the best performance of this piece i’ve ever listened ! Amazing 😍
Sidelined? it is one of his most popular pieces, certainly from all his concerti, It is popular enough that it is sometimes the only Poulenc people know or have heard.
@@MuseDuCafe ‘’it is sometimes the only Poulenc people know or have heard”. Exactly. That’s what I mean by sidelined, I’m referring to the composer. . 😁
I agree .... I only new irrelevant pieces by Poulenc (chamber music) and I am discovering an interesting composer with this concerto I had never heard .... very dynamic and inventive
Outstanding in all ways. Such difficult tonal variations, and yet not a single detectable slip. Near-perfect is the best one can achieve, of course, yet to my ear, this duo-plus seemed perfect. Thank you. Bravo!
Absolutely agree! As compelling an interpretation as those with Poulenc himself, but much more coherent and far better played. The pianos are seamless, really impeccable!
As a Les Six specialist myself. The Poulenc double piano concerto is among my favorite Poulenc.. The Jussen brothers are also one of my favorite piano duos. They literally move as 1 with great understanding of the repertoire, subtlety, shading and nuance. Simply fantastic. And I can never tell which of these brothers is sexier.. ... Gentleman prefers blonde. Loving Arthur with the Bowie hair. But seriously truly never get tired of watching them and they do all my favorite repertoire ..
In addition to being a Les Six and Poulenc specialist, are you gay? (I am too, by the way, just to dispell any misunderstanding). My point is: are you sure that the first movement is slower here that in the female interpretations that you trashed previously, in part for being "rushed" (Labèque and Argerish?)
@@jean-francoisbrunet2031 To answer your questions. Vladimir Horowitz once said. "There are only 3 types of pianists; GAY, Jewish or Bad" LOL And yes I'm not really fans of the Labèque sisters . If you listen to the their first movement of this concerto the conductor starts at a correct tempo then the ladies start really pushing the tempo.. Not terrible but not great. Allegro ma no troppo (quick but not too much so). meaning Clarity and not rushing. Martha Argerich/Nelson Goerner are better. I usually adore Argerich but didn't find her Poulenc double as spectacular as her breathtaking Ravel for example. Of course it is a matter of taste.. Art is subjective. But I have performed the solo Poulenc, the double and even the Concert Champêtre as well as all the chamber piano and wind works. The Jussen always have such subtly of voicing and shading in their playing. They make the double concerto sound like 1 .. Not easy at times in the fast sections to have absolute precision of togetherness with still moments of rubato. There are spots in the 1st movement that are very exposed like Mozart adagio sections. The Jussens do a beautiful job with this concerto. And I would indeed marry Arthur if he asked. LOL. But seriously The Jussens are one of my favorite piano ensembles. Watch them on works like the Debussy Epigraphes. Shear perfection . Also obviously one should compare interpretations to Poulenc/Février's recording from the 1950s. Obviously the composer is that piano so one can see chosen tempos, rubato and shading etc.
I love everything about this: the music, the way the video was shot, the interactions between the musicians, and the fact that they are both brothers and one of them looks kind of like Michael Fassbender.
The music started at 5:49 is the music that made me fall in love with Poulenc. I struggled to connect with his music for so long, but as soon as those pianos start and the orchestra plays those Poulenc harmonies, I fell in love.
this is my first time hearing the work the moment I heard that part you mentioned, i immediately scrolled down the comment section to find whether anyone else also found this section incredibly magical!
I'm impressed how these Dutch brothers know how to interpret French music. I listened to their Debussy. Wonderufl. They have completely captured Poulenc's witty urbane and sensual stylings . I remain grateful and delighted.
Это никакая не «французская» музыка, а всего лишь один Пуленк. Именно, его исполнение тут этими примечательными пианистами современности и показывает его «красную цену», то есть даёт оценку по Гамбургскому счёту. А «французская музыка» - это отнюдь не одна «шестёрка» и в ней Пуленк, но как минимум Люлли, Куперен, Рамо, Берлиоз, Гуно, Массне, Бизе, Сен-Санс, Дебюсси, Равель. Вынося свои оценки публично, необходимо выражаться точно и ясно.
Thank you so much Lucas and Arthur, you both play with such rapturous joy, and love ❤️ of your wonderful talents. You also are both so charismatic too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
A compellingly fine performance of a composer I’ve dismissed for no good reason. This video inspired me to read the Wikipedia entry on Poulenc, which is really well-written itself. I’d already known of Poulenc’s quirk for inserting movie music quotations, evident in this concerto.
These two brothers are among the best classic pianists in the entire world!!! Amazing technic of playing!!! They are a couple of dynamites!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Magnifique! Je vous écoute depuis la Suisse et il se trouve que vous possédez tous les deux un jeu précis et perlé, digne des grands artistes et résultant d'un travail assidu. Je vous souhaite une suite de parcours pleine de succès.
Magnifique et éblouissante interprétation. Quel jeu pianistique et quelle précision dans la direction orchestrale ! La plus belle interprétation à mon sens.
An unusual silence of the audience during interruptions of the concert flow can be experienced here! That's extremely rare! Besides that a very interesting and difficult-to-play piece of music of modern style to the likes of which my ears need to get accustomed by and by.

Notice the eye contact between the two. They play as ONE. Priceless and never to occur again.

No one coughed during those silences. Incredible display of humanity at its finest.
because there weren't the coronavirus
because they weren't done with a movement. they only cough between movements. douche.
real right listeners know how to hold a cough
If it was a British audience there would be plenty of coughing!
A rarity.

Fully agree

Yes. A miracle of nature. One gets Jussen-addict... a universal gift for everybody ... all our blessings ...!
Very high quality sibling duos are indeed quite rare.
Aloys and Alfons Kontarsky - 70's decade. They were genius. Search by yourself.
They are also very kind and sweet individuals 💕

I just found out about you guys and I am in awe. Thanks for sharing your talent. God Bless you. You have been given a beautiful gift.

Музыка гениальная, исполнители бесподобны! Хочется слушать их бесконечно!
Nice to see this masterpiece still being performed today...

Одно из лучших исполнений этого Концерта! Парни молодцы! 👍 Браво Лукас и Артур!!!! 👏👏👏
На сегодняшний день, возможно, остаются самыми лучшими.
Incríveis pianistas e melodia admirável. Gostei demais.
This is an amazing performance!
💖💖 Amazing, bravo, congratulations!
this makes me proud of my country!! such talent makes me feel ashamed that i didnt continued to study
People have been sleeping on this concerto for a long time. One of Poulenc's hidden gems for sure.
popular staple of the rep, often enough it is 'the only poulenc' many know or have heard.
Just listening ,
I am filled with the admiration for his overwhelming exquisite performance

Emozionante, e che dire che suonano senza mai tenere uno spartito sotto gli occhi. Straordinari!
