Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik for Tal & Groethuysen!

Yaara Tal & Andreas Groethuysen were awarded a well-deserved Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik in the category keyboard instruments for their album "J. S. Bach & Reinhard Febel: 18 Studies on 'The Art of Fugue'". Gregor Willmes in his statement: "Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen, who commissioned these eighteen studies, play them with breathtaking clarity and conciseness. The most intricate rhythms seem as if they were taken for granted; the elaboration of themes and secondary voices, the finest dynamic gradations and, last but not least, an extremely changeable piano sound make this recording an enchanting experience".

Katia & Marielle Labèque - These Sisters Have Transformed the Piano Duo

The New York Times published an exciting portrait of the artistic diversity of Katia & Marielle Labèque on 25 October 2020: "The poster suggests the wildly varied musical interests of the Labèque sisters, who for over 50 years have been playing — and enlarging — the two-piano repertory. They have interpreted traditional classical and Romantic works, to brilliant effect, but have also ventured into jazz, Baroque, modernist and experimental genres — commissioning scores, inventing projects and testing their limits."

Katia & Marielle Labèque play Dessner in Frankfurt

The piano duo Katia & Marielle Labèque played on 22 and 23 October 2020 with the hr-Sinfonieorchester in Frankfurt. Under the direction of Andrés Orozco-Estrada, the musicians interpreted the "Concerto for two pianos and orchestra by Bryce Dessner", which the composer had written especially for Katia and Marielle Labèque: "Dessner, this season's resident artist of the hr-Sinfonieorchester, has peppered his classical three-movement work on a tonal basis with numerous polyrhythmic finesses. They offered the sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque the opportunity to throw themselves into the thoroughly entertaining pianistic turmoil with their own impulsive power and energy, including audible borrowings from the minimal music of Philip Glass, with which not only they but also Dessner himself have already worked together intensively". (Rhein-Main-Zeitung, 26.10.2020, Axel Zibulski)
