Les enfants terrible

"Katia and Marielle Labèque, enduring stars of the two-piano repertory, haven't lost a step as they approach their sixth decade of performing and recording together. One reason they remain fresh and compelling for audiences is that their repertory has constantly evolved, putting their remarkable talents into fresh perspective ... Here they offer a two-piano arrangement of Glass's voices-and-piano opera Les enfants terribles; the idea was set in motion by Glass and the sisters, and the arrangements were made by Michael Riesman ... Those who liked Katia and Marielle Labèque in the 1980s and 1990s and have wondered what they're up to, this well-recorded release offers a satisfying answer".

"Given that the original version of Les Enfants Terrible is for three pianos and four voices, it translates well to the medium of just two pianos, and Katia and Marielle take on the work of the missing five colleagues with ease".
