What a wonderful interview, no only absolutely fascinating and informative but giving a glimpse into the depth of Lucas and Arthur’s musical knowledge. Thank you so very much

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Thank you for a wonderful interview. I have only just found the brothers via UA-cam and am awed by their talent. A concert downunder one day is my hope.

[@tonyfranks5845]

This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard! Fine questions and wonderful, intelligent responses. Mississippi loves the Jussens.

[@vanrecital]

Thanks so much Tony! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@thethikboy]

Intelligent personable young guys - no pretentiousness.

[@marineljenkings553]

Yes! So we'll summed up!

[@suschu104]

Great interview. I just recently discovered these brothers on UA-cam - beautiful performance of the Schubert Fantasie. These guys are wonderful pianists!

I guess I am pretty off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?

Love these two. So down to earth

[@joeowens6180]

It never fails to bring joy to watch and hear these two, and listen in to their sprightly made comments. The interview was more in depth than any I have seen so far. Arthur always defers with fond respect to the more outspoken Lucas, something seen many times. I think Arthur is already the noticeable "Romantic" in manner and in performance. Here we see both of them informally, with their hair even more "untamed" than in a concert setting! They are skillfully moving into more contemporary repertoire, and I hope they will succeed in making it agreeable to audiences. And speaking of Hugs, I can never see them, either formally or informally, without wanting to run up to them and give them a BIG one! They deserve it: lovable brothers who make lovable music. God bless them both!

I think that Lucas's English is a bit stronger perhaps.

Thank you for such a wonderful, interesting and informative interview. I'm a huge fan of the brothers and play everything of theirs that I find on UA-cam. I'll never get to hear them in person, but I'm certainly glad for programs like this.

WOW! Thank you so much, Ms. Getz, for this excellent interview. Your questions were great. Like you, I have wondered how the boys manage their individual and 2-piano practice. But the big thing for me was hearing Lucas explain the teaching personalities of his 3 main teachers. Being exposed to diverse teaching styles only serves to make him an even better musician....if that is possible. I live in Boston and once I heard them play Poulenc with the BSO, that was it! There is no better. I was hooked! I attended all 3 nights of that event and have followed them closely ever since. As a piano teacher myself, there is no question their masterful playing has changed my life and the way I teach. Thank you and the VRS for organizing this. Mimi from Boston

[@vanrecital]

Thanks so much for your kind words Mimi! The Jussens really are incredible artists and we are so glad that you enjoyed the interview!

Geweldig interview met geweldige mensen.
My heart breaks for Leila Getz. 💚

[@AndrogynousMIE]

[@daleenalberts5829]

2 years later and it's even worse. 2023 is the hottest yet.😮

[@jamaicanpianistcomposer]

Listen! I wanna know what internet they are on, on this boat! Cause this connection is SO STABLE!....more stable than my future. I LIVE!!!

[@evelynn_teoh]

[@ilgreen8503]

2:32-35 , who lives in Amsterdam? I can't hear Arthur's saying due to voices overlapping. Subtitles is also overlapped.
