Sorabji on iTunes
Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji is one of the most intriguing compositional figures of the twentieth century. Most of his compositions demand super-mortal technical ability, memory and endurance. (Check the multi-hour Opus Clavicembalisticum.) Music is often densely contrapuntal and the musical language is highly coloured and exotic.
For something more “approachable” though, I love this positively ridiculous pastiche on Chopin’s Minute Waltz for piano solo (Track 10, 5:13). Like nothing else you’ve ever heard.
