Making a welcome return
following their three
appearances in 2009, Katia
and Marielle Labèque
perform a dramatic piece
designed to bring out their
contrasting personalities.
The Battlefield Concerto
was specially written for
them by French-Swiss
composer and double bass
player, Richard Dubugnon.
Semyon Bychkov, who conducted the work’s
recent Los Angeles premiere, here sandwiches it
between two classics – the most famous of all
unfinished symphonies and the glorious musical
autobiography (with battle scene) of a composer
who lived long in difficult times.
