Performance NotesMaking 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.

UK premiere of Dubugnon's 'Battlefield Concerto'.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
