This new recording captures the pianists' special artistic relationship with Philip Glass - a follow-up to the Double Piano Concerto the composer dedicated to the sisters in 2015.
Katia & Marielle Labèque are known for the fusion and energy of their duet, pursuing a stunning career all around the world, supporting both the classical repertoire and the contemporary creation. After having worked with Olivier Messiaen, Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, Pierre Boulez, in ensuing years they continued to create works written specifically for them by Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass, Bryce Dessner, Thom Yorke and Nico Muhly.
Philip Glass' music occupies a special place for Katia & Marielle Labèque's being dedicatees of his Double Concerto for two pianos. The composer himself chose to adapt his opera Les Enfants Terribles (after Jean Cocteau's novel) for them, in a suite for piano duet, entrusting the adaptation to Michael Riesman, his longtime collaborator and arranger.
