LUCAS & ARTHUR JUSSEN, piano
The Dutch-born brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen are the world’s foremost piano duo, recording exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon since 2010. They have performed with many of the world’s greatest orchestras including Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, Budapest Festival Orchestra, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, and in February 2026 make their debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Other upcoming debuts include the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and Israel Philharmonic. A highlight of the last season was a European tour with the Gewandhausorchester of Leipzig.
Their debut recording of works by Beethoven received platinum status and was awarded the Edison Klassiek audience award. Following a Schubert album and Jeux, a recording of French piano music, in 2015 their recording of Mozart’s Piano Concertos KV 365 and KV 242 together with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner reached gold status. The Jussen brothers also recorded Poulenc’s Double Piano Concerto with the Concertgebouworkest and Stéphane Denève, and in 2019 they released a recording of concertos and chorales by Bach with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta. On The Russian Album (2021) they interpret works for two pianos by Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, and Arensky – including Rachmaninov’s Suite No. 2 for Two Pianos, which is included in their Cambridge concert.
