Some words on this issue: TAKAHASHI YUJI: “The People United Will Never Be Defeated! For solo piano 36 variations on !El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido! By Sergio Ortega and Quilapayun (1975) FREDERIC RZEWSKI” (ALM Records – AL-19) Top notch copy of this totally vanished disc by Takahashi on the highly collectible and stellar ALM Records imprint, released in 1978. Avant-garde composer and key-man Takahashi Yuji here tackles masterpieces by Ortega and composed by AMM’s own Frederic Rzewski and invigorates them with his own idiosyncratic approach to the matter. Especially his compositions are awesome and his take on the matter is highly unique. Side two sees him delving into El Pueblo, turning him upside down and reinjecting the old master’s composition with an avant-garde twist ready to confront 20th century experimental heads. Apart from all this Kojima/ ALM Records are gifted with a top class mastering and engineering qualities, beefing up the listening experience with blissful aural impulses that will keep you hovering above your sofa. Brilliant all way through. Top notch copy.
