The review by "Doug-Haydn Fan" is spot on. This is a wonderful collection of the Labeque sisters spanning approximately 15 years. It includes most of the recordings the sisters made for the Philips label - most discs are previous Philips albums in their entirety. If you've never listened to the Labeques, buy it without worry, it is guaranteed to please any lover of piano music. It's filled with their characteristic energetic style and flair, but without any hint of being over done. If you are a new fan of the Labeques, having heard some of their releases since 1996, this collection will delight you as a perfect record of what might be called the second phase of their careers, roughly from ages 30 to 45. If you already own some of these recordings, you know this price is too good to pass up. Consider it as a perfect gift to share with friends who love classical music. Or better yet, consider it for those who aren't familiar with classical. You'll receive many thanks either way. Lastly, these Philips recordings are magnificent. All the Philips classical recordings I've heard during this period are of the highest quality and clarity, and these are no different. The dynamic range is right at the limit of recording technology (and the human ear). Don't try to listen to these in the car (unless it is turned off), as you'll miss the most subtle details of the soft passages, then blow out your windows when suddenly the sisters are pounding the keyboards.
