Product Description: 55 years after the release of their first recording, Katia & Marielle Labeque celebrate an extraordinary artistic journey with "55," a landmark 3-CD box set bringing together new recordings and curated archive treasures spanning more than half a century. Released in 1970, the Labeque sisters' debut album marked the beginning of one of the most singular careers in contemporary music. Featuring 25 new tracks and 30 historic tracks, the collection offers an intimate portrait of two artists who have consistently crossed boundaries between classical, contemporary, jazz, minimalism and popular traditions. "55" has a particular focus on women composers with 12 of the 55 tracks written by 8 women. On these composers Katia & Marielle say, "Their apparent silence was only a veil imposed by history. Their stories, extraordinary journeys and courageous destinies, resonate today with striking force." The box includes a booklet with photographs by Brigitte Lacombe.
