Frederic Rzewski: The People United Will Never Be Defeated (Mix Album)
Price 20.99 - 24.47 USD
On this new CD, Kai Schumacher performs Frederic Rzewski"s work The People United Will Never Be Defeated, a work based on the Chilean protest sont, El peublo unido jamas sera vencido!, written by Sergio Ortega a few months before Pinochet"s military coup of 1973. "A masterpiece," says composer Bernhard Wambach. "It is a work that would be unthinkable without Bach, but also without Stockhausen, Boulez and Cage. Whoever wishes to interpret this work has not only to master a text of the highest pianistic difficulty, but must also " take a position." The pianist must embody a political perspective. Without such a "position," it is impossible to interpret this work of a committed socialist."
