The extraordinary pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque are known not only for the seamless ensemble of their playing, but also for their superlative musicianship and extraordinary scope of repertoire which ranges from Bach, Mozart and Schubert to Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bernstein and the avant-garde composers of the 20th century.

They have performed with the world's finest orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland, Concertgebouw, Dresden Staatskapelle, Leipzig Gewandhaus, London Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, Philharmonia and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras. They have collaborated with conductors such as Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, Sir Colin Davis, Charles Dutoit, Jesus Lopez-Cobos, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Simon Rattle, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Leonard Slatkin and Michael Tilson Thomas.

In recital, their appearances have taken them to the world's most prestigious festivals including Berlin, Blossom, City of London, Edinburgh, Great Woods, Hollywood Bowl, the Proms, Mostly Mozart, Ravinia, Salzburg-Mozart Woche and Tanglewood. They also appear regularly on television, including projects for ZDF Germany, NHK Japan and several networks in the USA. A BBC-TV documentary produced by Tamasin Day-Lewis featuring their lives and career was screened in the UK in October 1992, and Sony Classical have produced a videodisc - "The Loves of Emma Bardac".
Among their many recordings for Philips and Sony are Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Brahms' Hungarian Dances, Mozart's Double and Triple Concertos with the Berlin Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov, Poulenc's Double Concerto with the Boston Symphony and Osawa, the Double Concertos of Mendelssohn and Bruch with the Berlin Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov, a disc dedicated to Spanish music and another to Russian music based on original transcriptions, as well as "West Side Story" and "Love of Colours" which is a collection of contemporary jazz pieces.

They recorded last October the Luciano Berio Concerto for two pianos under the direction of the composer with the La Scala Philharmonic, and have since then completed a recording dedicated to the original works of Debussy for four hands and two pianos.
