Two pianos, four hands - and a program full of energy: Lucas and Arthur Jussen draw an electrifying arc from Johann Sebastian Bach to George Gershwin: this program thrives on strong contrasts and rousing energy. Meditative Bach chorales in modern arrangements meet the hypnotic present, the great art of variation and jazzy urbanity. Two pianos, four hands - and a finale with swing and drive. Sophisticated, surprising and guaranteed to be anything but dry.
