The Labeque Sisters
When sisters Katia and Marielle
Labeque simultaneously graduated with distinction from the Paris
Conservatoire, they made two wise decisions. One was to play together, which, surprisingly, they had not done before; and the other was to play the works of avant-garde composers. Within three weeks of leaving, they made their first recording, Messiaen's Visions de I'Amen, directed by the composer. Joan Bakewell talks to them about their musical education.
