Description:

The Variations on The Indomitable People is a work that evokes a sense of exhilaration and has the power to envelop the listener in a full range of emotions; it stands as a monumental and magnificent achievement, both in terms of composition and the virtuosity of its piano writing. Marc-Andr Amram is one of the greatest advocates of this 20th-century classic, having performed it for many years. Needless to say, it cannot be surpassedand it is unlikely anyone will ever come close (Gramophone magazine).Universal Music/IMS
