55: 3CD Box Set

Fifty-five years after the release of their first recording, Katia and Marielle Labque celebrate an extraordinary artistic journey with 55, a landmark 3-CD boxed set bringing together new recordings and curated archive treasures spanning more than half a century. First released in 1970 under the artistic guidance of Olivier Messiaen, the Labque sisters debut album marked the beginning of one of the most singular careers in contemporary music. Visions de lAmen was our very first recording. We were 17 and 19. Olivier Messiaen himself asked us to record it, as they recall.
