The Labeque sisters on an incredible 55 year career together

Tom Service welcomes pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque to the studio to talk about their 55 years releasing records and their shared lifetimes at the piano

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!

Tom welcomes pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque to the studio to talk about their incredible lives in music and to play together on the studio piano. The Labeques' new compilation '55' marks their 55 years recording career, which started as teenagers in 1970 when Olivier Messiaen asked them to go into the studio to record his music. They talk to Tom about a musical journey together that spans Mozart to Poulenc to Emahoy to Part, countless world premieres, and how they continue to push boundaries today collaborating with artists like Bryce Dessner.
