DESCRIZIONE

America/Beautiful è una raccolta in cinque volumi ideata, commissionata ed eseguita dalla pianista e promotrice culturale Min Kwon. Comprende 76 nuovi brani per pianoforte di compositori americani, tutti ispirati a “America the Beautiful”. Con questa impresa di grande respiro, Kwon riunisce una vasta gamma di voci individuali in una visione musicale unitaria, invitando l’ascoltatore a percepire gli Stati Uniti come un’idea culturale viva e in continua evoluzione.
Il risultato è un tessuto musicale profondamente toccante, un ritratto sonoro della nazione in tutta la sua complessità. Ascoltata nel suo insieme, la raccolta sfugge a una narrazione unica, offrendo invece prospettive molteplici che interrogano, riflettono e reimmaginano l’esperienza americana, unite dal principio duraturo di E pluribus unum (da molti, uno).
Come osserva Kwon: “Nonostante tutte le difficoltà che affrontiamo, in questo Paese esistono ancora una bellezza, un’umanità e una possibilità profonde.”
Partner ideale per questo progetto artistico ambizioso, ampio e del tutto originale, Delos celebra il Semiquincentenario degli Stati Uniti con questa pubblicazione di riferimento.
