Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Labèque sisters here offer a blend of Satie's work for both two and four hands, with the solo pieces divvied up according to compatability.
Marielle's firmer, more dramatic touch is well suited to the cluster of 20 miniatures which comprise the Sports et Divertissements, where impact has to be delivered in short bursts of sometimes less than 20 seconds, while the Trois Gnossiennes, Satie's most mysterious melodies, are realised with limpid delicacy by Katia, who also contributes the rarely-performed 4th, 5th and 6th Gnossiennes. Together, the sisters are best matched on the curious Trois Morceaux en Forme de Poire, where Marielle's sparse, harder chords spike Katia's more reflective figures.
