...it took away all its foreign character.By the way the piece is breathtakingly beautyfull and quite interesting thanks a lot for uploading it. I only posted this in english because for latinamericans what I've remarked is positively a truism and even though it might as well be so for americans or other english speakers(because the composer is american not because all english speakers are american) I thought It was just as posible that it isn't.I am sorry if I misspelt anything and again thnx
.. the motto "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido" that is to say TUWNBD is still sung or chanted costumarily in popular demonstrations by protesters and it has been for long time. Anyways I thought it was interesting,noteworthy I do not know if it will be so for others and I do not know either if it is as well common in other countries for this motto to be chanted , particularily in english speaking ones, but I note the fact because it made this piece so much more intimate and close to me...
Just wanted to comment on an interesting fact on the theme generating this whole piece, the set of all variations. The piece is built on a theme of a chilean popular song, used by socialist movement, now this is already of common knowledge (as it turns out it contains as well other references to populist and socialist music), but what might not be so, at least for english speaking listeners, is the fact that in many latin american countries,(I am mexican so I can only speak about México)the ...
I truly am amazed and grateful for all the items you manage to get your hands on John, and this Takahashi recording is one amazing example. Where on earth did you find this one?

Thanks for uploading this rare recording (and actually your willingness to post this massive piece for the 3rd time), I was very much interested in how Takahashi played the piece. I'm so glad he actually improvised a cadenza! Brief though it is, it has quite an atmosphere. Out of curiosity, is this your favourite version of the work at the moment? His take on 27th variation is rather slow, isn't it?
This recording gives me fucking a boner :D
