The Minimalist Dream House Project
Sister-superstars Katia and Marielle Labèque may have grown up playing classical piano, but it was their shift to contemporary music that thrust them firmly into the spotlight. Caught up in the works of Berio, Boulez, Ligeti, and Messiaen in their mid-teens, the duo was perhaps destined to embark on their newest genre-bending project, The Minimalist Dream House. Joined by guitarist David Chalmin, keyboardist Nicola Tescari, bass-player Alexandre Maillard, and drummer Raphael Seguinier, Katia and Marielle explore a century of minimalist compositions. From Philip Glass's driving "Four Movements for Two Pianos" to William Duckworth's lush "The Time Curve Preludes" to the eerie chords of Radiohead's "Pyramid Song," the group demonstrates the far-reaching influence of the compositional style founded in the aftermath of World War II. When the Labèques presented a similar concert titled Minimalism at 50 in 2011, London's Financial Times called it a "beautifully executed programme" that made the audience "think about musical processes without inferring any dogma."
