Frederic Rzewski plays his De Profundis for speaking pianist, based on Oscar Wilde's confession under the same title. Live recording in Paris, 2009. Personally, I prefer this version over Rzewski's commercial one.
@TheMetzMachine I like this piece very much, too, and IMO it is the best performance of it. I enjoy most of Rzewski's works tremendously, and I am going to upload more of it - for next time, his performance of Stop the War!, also for speaking pianist (the libretto, though, consists of one sentence only).
My favorite Rzewski piece. What a fantastic composition, and what a breathtaking performance he gives here.
