Pianist/composer Conrad Tao’s third Warner Classics album, entitled American Rage, traces the roots of rebellion from the 1930s Harlan County labor disputes, through the trauma of 9/11, to the deep divisions of the present day. Bookended by two expansive works by Frederic Rzewski – Which Side Are You On?, based on Florence Reece’s 1931 protest song, and Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, an industrial folk song that reflects the unjust factory working conditions – the album centres on Julia Wolfe’s Compassion, written in the wake of 9/11, and Aaron Copland’s elegiac Piano Sonata.
