A few years ago at Tanglewood, I was thrilled to hear Levit's performance
of Frederic Rzewski's "The People United Will Never Be Defeated."  Levit's
great album, *Igor Levit Piano* includes Bach's "Goldberg Variations,"
Beethoven's "Diabelli Variations" and the Rzewski masterpiece.

> Other pianists of Levit’s generation may have achieved wider mass-market
> fame—Lang Lang and Yuja Wang come first to mind—but none have comparable
> stature as a cultural or even a political figure. In German-speaking
> countries, Levit is a familiar face not only to classical-music fans but
> also to a broader population that shares his leftist, internationalist
> world view. He has appeared on mainstream German TV shows; participated in
> political panel discussions; and attended the annual gathering of the Green
> Party, playing Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” the anthem of the European Union.
> It was no surprise that Levit’s inaugural live stream attracted attention,
> though I was taken aback when the number of viewers climbed into the tens
> of thousands.
