What do you think of this piece?
on: September 24, 2006, 10:49:53 PM
I recently saw this video of Hamelin playing "The People United Will Never Be Defeated". I never heard this piece before, but after listening to it, I kinda felt in love with it.


So, what are your thoughts about this piece?.. Check the YouTube links to listen/watch.

this is probably the best theme and variations of the 20th century, and hamelin completely owns this piece. he even plays it better than rzewski himself, i think. id like to see lang lang or kissin attempt this piece, heh.

I like the simple yet easy to elaborate theme.

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything.  See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie.  But that's just me.
