His first works with the "perfumed garden" are a must...Begin with that ...

His 100 transcendental studies too ...Buy Ullen here ...

Dont begin with anything else...

Sorabji is an obsessed mind creating 9 hours pieces...

It is in a way a genious lost in himself ...

it is the reverse of Scriabin who spoke to us...

His short pieces transform us ...

Sorabji dont transform me but propose his own inner world for the sake of it and is indifferent to the listener in a way Scriabin was not , Scriabin vouched to redempt and save humanity from himself , he is a mystic; Sorabji is not a mystic but a poet inspired by mathematics and geometry...A Bach without the center of God... but is geometry is astounding and ask for a focussed attention almost no one can give...And it is unplayable on piano not for the same reason than Scriabin short pieces... how to keep the intensity for 4 or 5 hours in the Clavicem ? Ogdon only do it...Ullen do a job without defect on the transcendent studies...

i like Sorabji and by moment love him ...

Anyway no other composer use the piano this way....And anyway he is unknown because he had  forbid people to play his works and anyway they are impossible to play because of duration...

@mahgister

Sorabji is intriguing. Will explore. Thanks!

Arvo Pärt’s compositions are captivating. I was intrigued by the idea of "minimalist music" and particularly admire "Spiegel im Spiegel," "Fratres for String Quartet," and all the pieces in "Creator Spiritus."

Can we consider nuevo tango as modern classical music? I'm thinking of Dino Saluzzi and Astor Piazzolla 

Why not ?

The most important revolution in European classical written music by "composers" came in the last century with the official discovery by Bartok and others of the cultural roots of music... Before that many composers as Chopin with the mazurkas for example were influenced by popular grounded music in the cultural soil... It was even such in Bach times ...Then came the mixing of these roots all around the earth with classical european music but also the influences  all style  had over all others , not only with folklore transcription as in Bartok times but with recording easier process and play back system ...

This is why i own extensive collection of Persian and Indian music... Or fado etc ... Why not tango ?

But it is the OP thread and idea not mine ... I must shut up ... 😁
