Katia en Marielle Labèque

Their debut album, first released in 1970 under the artistic guidance of Olivier Messiaen, marked the beginning of one of the most unique careers in contemporary music. In the early eighties, their recording of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue became the first gold record in classical music. A few years later, their version of West Side Story for two pianos and percussion became another major international success.

Since then, the Labèque sisters have continuously crossed boundaries between classical, contemporary, jazz, minimalism and popular traditions. They commissioned works from composers such as Philip Glass and Bryce Dessner and have performed worldwide, from Mozart to minimalist composers.
