His complete disregard for appropriate instrumental writing and balance is startling. But it's consistent with his orchestral writing, which is much like this on a larger scale, so even more opaque. Almost impossible to play in tune under these circumstances
@@toothlesstoe I consider Sorabji the precursor to Brian Ferneyhough in many aspects. They both write idiomatically for instruments, and it's the player's part to rise to the challenge.
@@toothlesstoe On a harmonic invention level, I agree. As a performer learning to play Ferneyhough, I find the concept of it fascinating, but on a purely executive level, many details gets lost.
i lovesorabji and delius!
Alexander, God bless you for taping this in such good quality and for hanging onto it all these years and making it available.
Thank you SO much...may be the only surviving recording of the piece

It was broadcast in Philadelphia in 1982, and I recorded it.

There's no such thing as "appropriate" when it comes to musical composition, except when said composer is satisfied with the end result.

Except I find Sorabji infinitely more captivating than Ferneyhough in every regard.
