More Than Ideal Grandchildren. The Jussen Brothers

The impressive success enjoyed by the Dutch piano brothers Jussen has many sources, aside from the fact of the quality of their playing. In some respects their careers resemble those of every young exceptionally gifted musician. Born in 1993, Lucas won the important Rotterdamse Pianodriedaagse in 2001 and three years later Arthur, who was born in 1996, was voted the young musical talent of the year in the Netherlands. That talent did not come from strangers: their father is percussionist in the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and their mother gives transverse flute lessons.
