Love the performance with no audience behind: all we see are four hands and one keyboard blessing us with sublime feeling and synchronicity. Le Jardin Féerique is my favourite movement.
Lucas and Arthur, you two are my favorite pianists, on my favorite pianos. I am sorry that the Covid virus has stopped your live performances. I saw the distress you have been in because of the absence of live audiences. However I hope you know how powerful these bare stage performance videos are. There is no one coughing in the background, no premature applause, and so on. It is as if we are seeing and hearing your bare souls there for us. Please continue these TH-cam performances. You are both superb soloists, but your duos and duetted are just stunning beautiful. Please stay online here for us and keep recording.
rien à dire sur l'interprétation, ces hommes sont magnifiques. j'aime cette musique que j"ai tenté (vainement) de jouer sur mon piano que j'ai finalement vendu. écoutons bien.c'est une richesse de vie. l'oreille.
I adore performing the Ravel. So sensual. Lucas and Arthur are just extraordinary. Perfect phrasing and subtly of dynamics, pedaling and nuance. Bravissimo Gents.

Aside from the fact that it is wonderful musical art, it is also an amazing demonstration of the remarkable ability to respect and give each the space to do the work. It’s as if they were one mind. With eyes closed much of the time. The lessons for the world of ensemble. That is why one should do more than just listen. One should learn the lessons for themselves by participating in musical ensembles for themselves and let the greats inspire us to cooperate with each other as they do. We make each other greater. Not competition, ensemble! Theses young men know something very special that politicians, business oligarchs and armies do not.

Simply transcending, ethereal , delightful, magical -all here in this very moving and exceptional performance played brilliantly by these two brothers -seemingly one.
This is bliss, Lucas and Arthur. I still think the original duet piano as Ravel first wrote it has a simple, innocent fragility that his later orchestration and ballet never quite find. Bravo. Impressionistic Ravel at his best. Bravo for your seamless interpretation. Heck, you're so tuned in to each other. Good to see you back.
I think I’m going to ask my teacher if I could perform this with her. I think it’s musically complex enough for me to be satisfied with a performance, but it’s simple enough in technique that I can manage it without too much trouble (I’m a composer and violinist so I understand phrasing and music theory very well, but I’ve only recently started piano). It’s so beautiful in its almost absurd simplicity of sound. There is nothing else, no work of music in the whole world, that I can compare to this. It was clearly written for children, but the underlying mechanisms of the harmony are not concepts a child would easily understand. Yet it sounds perfectly narrative and intuitive. I hope you find someone to perform this with again! :)
This is a very tricky, delicate and lyrical piece to hold together, with its oriental tonalities, but one of Ravel's loveliest moments.. I think Lucas and Arthur did it beautifully. Thank you.
This to me is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I remember I had the CD of the Montreal Orchestra performing it with Charles Dutoit conducting. I listen to it only once a year on my birthday as a gift to myself, it makes me cry every year.
Клавиши всасывают Лучшее из ваших божественных ТЕЛ ! Делитесь своим бесконечно-искристым ТАЛАНТОМ ! Все гении композиторы писали только для вашего исполнения ДУЭТНОГО. мурашите постоянно своим звуком и внешностью,передающей ВАШИ эмоции.
Wat is dit onbeschrijflijk mooi, impressionisme ten top. En hoe dat door Lucas en Arthur uit die vleugel 'getoverd' wordt. Adembenemend! En toch ook, wat een schitterend plaatje is er van gemaakt!
Daar Arthur and Lucas, I saw you a fel weeks ago in Haarlem and I was blowen away by your performans and you as a person, as human! You Made me understand this music! Thank you both! Rob
@@Tallerlospinos movement and face expressions is the embodiment of the music that is being played. Manierism for the sake of "show off" is something different. These guys are a divine bliss to watch AND listen.
The music transports me and so appropriate for the Covid isolation. Brings sunshine and it is a oy to watch these two talented brothers. Hopefully we can have the concert halls filled in the near future.
Yes, I have watched many performances of The Mother Goose Suit Including the one with Martha Argarich and Lang Lang and this is so much better than that or any other version I have seen. This is sublime. One reason may be that most people are sight reading it and these two have it memorized, and you will never be as able to express the music as well with your face buried in the sheet music as you would be if you already have it in your head. Ravel orchestrated this piece later and of course it's magical.
dear Arthur and Thomas, for some reason I haven't heard from you for a long time.. I really hope that everything is great with you and I will still have the opportunity to hear your wonderful performance. With great respect for you, from Russia, Dmitry.
These brothers are the pianistic treasure of the 21st century.

This performance is out of this world. I’m speechless.
10:50 Absolutely amazing!
It is a dream! This should have a few million views by now.
Literally sounds like that their four hands integrated to one brain. What a beautiful performance.
Fifteen minutes of pure musical magic.

This performance by the two brothers brought me to tears... beautiful and soulful!

For me, you are the entrance of another world. Beautiful 👏👏👏😍
This performance feels so intimate. Perfect choice!
So beautiful. Wonderful musicians. I have played this over and over
I loved playing this ten years ago with my first piano teacher. Still have the music and would love to play it again

@@andrewfortmusic Andrew, I’m so happy you want to play it! It’s a wonderful piece. I wish I could play it with you!
Slip a hand around my heart and give it a little hug. Beautiful - thank you.
Marvellous piano duo, my favourite! Notice that they play from memory even so difficult music as Stravinsky's.
Beyond beautiful - heavenly - serene - angelic - divine - holy! And I even love the music too.

Both of you are a gift from GOD to us🙏 🙏😘😘💖💖🌹🌹🌎
Incredibly beautiful.
Simply perfect: Pure magic!!
That's what I'd call harmonious playing; the way in which their styles of playing align themselves is truly sublime.
bin ein grosser Fan von den Beiden.👍🏻 sie sind grandios
Best duet in the world.
For sure🌟🤩
It's a magic music, and a magic brothers!!!!

Très réussi ils attaquent bien ensemble sans retard ni ostentation bravo un vrai regal

Absolutely superb! The 'colours' are imaginative, brilliant playing! Thank you!
Best version!
O Gott! Diese beiden Klaviergötter! Sie sind wie echte Engel auf dieser Erde....
Ils sont très bons !
This... is surreally beautiful. 👍💕
Splendid performance! Everything is so well-articulated and expressed. The music of Ravel always sounds so dreamy
MAGNIFIQUE!! Bravo!
Delightful. Thank you, Arthur and Lucas!
Positively love Ravel, positively love the way you play him.
Mesmeric playing. Bravo.
La douceur, l'éveil des sensations. Et vous 3 avec le piano, la symbiose.
I love their playing, movements and facial expressions♥️ All is wonderful combination👌✨
whatttt???? you like the show ! thats not music !

Absolutely devine!!!!!Thank you
Just by listening ,
their incomparable performance surges up within me
From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Thank you for posting these videos to TH-cam. Everything about them is inspiring!
Exquisite performance ❤
Superbe interprétation ✨
4:42 Laideronnette, Impératrice des Pagodes is beautiful.
C'est très raffiné et sans mièvrerie. Magnifique
Je suis d’acco

Bij de WDD was het al geweldig, dit overtreft het, formidabel wat een timing.
Excellente exécution! Duo formidable!
La délicatesse et le raffinement de Ravel
I did not known of this piece or the two of you. Ravel wrote it with you in mind, a more perfect performance I can not images. Thank you
i think this is my favourite performance of this piece yet. beautiful!
Yes, I have watched many performances of The Mother Goose Suit Including the one with Martha Argarich and Lang Lang and this is so much better than that or any other version I have seen.

i wish i have someone to play this amazing piece with me :(
Wonderful🌹🌹🌹
On y est… merveilleux !
So great!!! 🕊️ Thank you very much
BRAVO
I am so so happy to have you and your musics back on TH-cam. And thanks for this fine rendition of Mother Goose.
Superbe!
dear Arthur and Thomas, for some reason I haven't heard from you for a long time..
I really hope that everything is great with you and I will still have the opportunity to hear your wonderful performance. With great respect for you, from Russia, Dmitry.
Dulce...dulce ..tierno una caricia para el Alma...
Una perfetta simbiosi ed una interpretazione pulita, molto sentita e partecipata.
Bravissimo
The hand over heart at 13:23 took me from unable to breathe to ugly crying
Yes, although that is usually done for practical space reasons.
Uh yeah and the hearts traditionally signaled on your left breast, not your right, right? 🤷♂️
Ongelooflijk mooi. Ik heb de dwd opname bewaard die vond ik toen heel mooi, maar dit is onbeschrijfelijk mooi.
These musicians are superb! WHEN are they going to come to Melbourne/Australia??? PLEASE!!!!!
Yes. Please do come to South Africa too. Fortunately Covid is something of past. 🎹🎼
Increíble interpretación Ravel se habría impactado
Amazing, boys
Prachtig, jongens! Zoals altijd..
высший класс!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing.
Thanks a lot !
Bravi ragazzi!
Só Ravel para nós transportar a este mundo de magia e encantamento,, longe deste mundo brutal insano.
beautiful!
Leurs têtes qui vont et viennent font penser aux blés ondulant sous la brise... Mais là, c'est le souffle de la Musique.
Meravigliosi
Maravilloso sublime.soy aficionada y lega. Me gusta debussy. Tienen algo de él estos extraordinarios pianistas?
