because there weren't the coronavirus

because they weren't done with a movement. they only cough between movements. douche.

real right listeners know how to hold a cough

If it was a British audience there would be plenty of coughing!

A rarity.

Not to dismiss that they play superbly and as one, but I could not spot a single eye contact between them in the entire movement. Lucas closes the eyes a lot, Arthur glances at the conductor, but...

@@jean-francoisbrunet2031 You realize the camera was on the orchestra half the time right? It's not that they didn't have eye contact, it just wasn't captured on camera

@@clairejin1704 I was answering someone who wrote "notice the eye contact between the two". If it was not caputred on camera, how could this person "notice", and how could you know?

@@jean-francoisbrunet2031 I was at that concert

@@jean-francoisbrunet2031 Also, speaking from experience there is no way they could have played this concerto as well as they did without having eye contact with each other (btw I'm a pianist)

Sidelined? it is one of his most popular pieces, certainly from all his concerti, It is popular enough that it is sometimes the only Poulenc people know or have heard.

@@MuseDuCafe ‘’it is sometimes the only Poulenc people know or have heard”. Exactly. That’s what I mean by sidelined, I’m referring to the composer. . 😁

I agree .... I only new irrelevant pieces by Poulenc (chamber music) and I am discovering an interesting composer with this concerto I had never heard .... very dynamic and inventive

Fully agree

they ARE

Yes. A miracle of nature. One gets Jussen-addict... a universal gift for everybody ... all our blessings ...!

Very high quality sibling duos are indeed quite rare.

Aloys and Alfons Kontarsky - 70's decade. They were genius. Search by yourself.

They are also very kind and sweet individuals 💕

I love Poulenc!!! One of my favorite composers.

It's incredibly annoying that his music, or let's say at least this concerto, isn't more popular. The concerto is well beyond the status of a masterpiece.

Poulenc is my fav. His style never gets old!!

I totally agree with you. Best version of this wonderful concert!

It is considered by critics as the best performance of this concerto to date.

I totally agree with you, too!

Absolutely agree! As compelling an interpretation as those with Poulenc himself, but much more coherent and far better played. The pianos are seamless, really impeccable!

What? Fassbender? No.

@@organboi He meant that the boy is good looking....

Это никакая не «французская» музыка, а всего лишь один Пуленк. Именно, его исполнение тут этими примечательными пианистами современности и показывает его «красную цену», то есть даёт оценку по Гамбургскому счёту. А «французская музыка» - это отнюдь не одна «шестёрка» и в ней Пуленк, но как минимум Люлли, Куперен, Рамо, Берлиоз, Гуно, Массне, Бизе, Сен-Санс, Дебюсси, Равель. Вынося свои оценки публично, необходимо выражаться точно и ясно.

In addition to being a Les Six and Poulenc specialist, are you gay? (I am too, by the way, just to dispell any misunderstanding). My point is: are you sure that the first movement is slower here that in the female interpretations that you trashed previously, in part for being "rushed" (Labèque and Argerish?)

@@jean-francoisbrunet2031 To answer your questions. Vladimir Horowitz once said. "There are only 3 types of pianists; GAY, Jewish or Bad" LOL And yes I'm not really fans of the Labèque sisters . If you listen to the their first movement of this concerto the conductor starts at a correct tempo then the ladies start really pushing the tempo.. Not terrible but not great. Allegro ma no troppo (quick but not too much so). meaning Clarity and not rushing. Martha Argerich/Nelson Goerner are better. I usually adore Argerich but didn't find her Poulenc double as spectacular as her breathtaking Ravel for example. Of course it is a matter of taste.. Art is subjective. But I have performed the solo Poulenc, the double and even the Concert Champêtre as well as all the chamber piano and wind works. The Jussen always have such subtly of voicing and shading in their playing. They make the double concerto sound like 1 .. Not easy at times in the fast sections to have absolute precision of togetherness with still moments of rubato. There are spots in the 1st movement that are very exposed like Mozart adagio sections. The Jussens do a beautiful job with this concerto. And I would indeed marry Arthur if he asked. LOL. But seriously The Jussens are one of my favorite piano ensembles. Watch them on works like the Debussy Epigraphes. Shear perfection . Also obviously one should compare interpretations to Poulenc/Février's recording from the 1950s. Obviously the composer is that piano so one can see chosen tempos, rubato and shading etc.

this is my first time hearing the work the moment I heard that part you mentioned, i immediately scrolled down the comment section to find whether anyone else also found this section incredibly magical!

Gamelan inspired magic

Do you know some similar magical Poulenc moments?

Incredibly beautiful 🥹😍

⁠

На сегодняшний день, возможно, остаются самыми лучшими.

I fell in love with Poulenc singing his 4 Christmas motets. Sublime and incredibly fun to learn and perform!

@@shannonnortonrichards7474 Glad you mentioned those, Shannon-I’ll look for a recording!

popular staple of the rep, often enough it is 'the only poulenc' many know or have heard.

Ils font les courses au supermarché et m'ont chargé de vous remercier.

Agreed. cathy

Just have a look there kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frp_e9t01aqalKM.html
