Review by Milada Krajewska

The album 不屈の民変奏曲 The People United Will Never Be Defeated by 高橋悠治 is a masterpiece of contemporary classical music. The album features a series of variations of the Chilean protest song "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!" (The people united will never be defeated!) composed by Sergio Ortega, arranged and performed by the Japanese pianist Yuji Takahashi.

The album consists of 36 variations of the same theme, each with a different character, mood, and technique. Takahashi's interpretation of the piece is stunning, with his virtuosic playing and sensitive expression. He captures the essence of the original song and transforms it into a contemporary classical masterpiece that reflects the spirit of the people's struggle for freedom and justice.

The album's title, which translates to "The People United Will Never Be Defeated," is a fitting tribute to the original song's message of solidarity and resistance. The variations range from gentle and lyrical to intense and dissonant, but they all share a common thread of defiance and determination. The album's overall effect is both powerful and moving.
