France's most celebrated piano duo
A piano recording by Katia Labèque and Marielle Labèque, featuring a piano duo version of Gershwin's "An American in Paris."
The Labèque sisters' two-piano recording features a sharp rhythm and transparent tone. Side A, "An American in Paris," vividly recreates the hustle and bustle of the city and the rhythm of jazz with a three-dimensional piano sound. Side B includes Percy Grainger's arrangement of "Porgy and Bess Fantasy," where blues and ragtime melodies unfold in a brilliant ensemble. A superb performance that vividly portrays the dynamism of Gershwin on two pianos.
