Biography

Internationally renowned, sisters Katia and Marielle LabÃ¨que (born in Bayonne in 1950 and 1952, respectively) began their joint career in 1970 with a performance of Messiaenâs Visions de lâAmen under the composerâs direction. Whether performing together or separately, their recitals and recordings were highly successful. In 1980, Gershwinâs Rhapsody in Blue for two pianos and percussion was certified gold. The LabÃ¨que sisters were highly prolific from this period through the late 1990s. Recorded with a host of rock stars, the album Carnaval (1997) was their last before a hiatus of about ten years during which they pursued different activities. Married to conductor Semyon Bychkov, Marielle LabÃ¨que reunited with her sister in 2005 to establish a foundation, a recording studio, and the KML Recordings label in Rome; in 2012, the label released the anthology Minimalist Dream House, dedicated to fifty years of minimalist music. Katia and Marielle LabÃ¨queâs repertoire is vast, ranging from the Classical and Romantic periods to contemporary composers. Luciano Berio, GyÃ¶rgy Ligeti, Philippe Boesmans, and Michael Nyman have each dedicated a work to them. In 2015, they premiered David Chalminâs composition Star Crossâd Lovers on stage, pairing it with Leonard Bernsteinâs West Side Story for the album Love Stories (2017). Two years later, El Chan featured Bryce Dessnerâs piece of the same name, as well as his Concerto for Two Pianos, conducted by Matthias Pintscher. The sisters then collaborated with Philip Glass on the piano transcriptions of the three operas based on Jean Cocteauâs playsâ OrphÃ©e, Beauty and the Beast, and Les Enfants terribles, collected in the box set Cocteau Trilogy (2024), which ranked among the best-selling classical music albums in France (No. 11) and the United Kingdom (No. 4 on the specialized charts).
