About

Frederic Rzewski's monumental piano solo, based on a Chilean worker's song (The People United will Never be Defeated), is one of the acknowledged masterpieces of 20th century piano music and is performed by one of Denmark's leading virtuosi, Ole Kiilerich.

Rzewski always had a love of popular and protest songs, so this work also quotes the Italian revolutionary song Bandiera Rossa, referring to the Italians who opened their doors to refugees from Chile, and to Hans Eisler’s 1932 antifascist Solidaritätslied.

Frederic Rzewski is a political composer with a taste for a good tune.” - The Telegraph
