I listened to one of my favorite pieces by Franz Schubert today: The Fantasie in F-Minor, as performed by Lucas and Arthur Jussen.
The Jussen brothers have been national figures in the Netherlands since early childhood. They have appeared with international orchestras, including the Hong Kong Philharmonic and the London Chamber Orchestra, and with artists like Ricardo Castro and Lang Lang. They were the first Dutch artists to sign with Deutsche Grammophon, the prestigious classical music label. In many respects, all of that is a prelude.
Now they are finishing their studies, Lucas at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, where he is studying with the concert pianist and master teacher Dmitri Bashkirov, and Arthur at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where he studies with one of the most prominent Dutch piano teachers, Jan Wijn.
You are in for a treat now, as you listen to these excellent artists perform the Fantasie in F-Minor by Schubert:
