In a few words

As children, they played for the Queen of the Netherlands. As young adults, they signed with Deutsche Grammophon. In their thirties, the biggest stages are clamouring for them. The perfect understanding between the Jussen brothers will once again delight Avenue Montaigne. From the piety of Bach, arranged by Kurtág among others, to the swing of Gershwin, passing through the ideas that Haydn gave to Brahms and Paganini to the young Lutosławski, here are the Dutch brothers again in a colourful and virtuosic evening. While Fauré's Dolly needs no introduction, the insistent energy of Van, a toccata by the Polish Hanna Kulenty, will prove that tonal music is not dead. Jeanine Roze Production
