@@newaccounter I really held myself back recently because I personally love this kind of music but in the end it is my channel so I thought I will play all music that I like. It's a reflection of my musical taste and understanding, this work
I did not expect to see Sorabji on your channel! This is one of the few pieces by the composer I REALLY enjoy. I've heard a few other performances of this piece and I've always loved the gorgeous impressionistic, jazzy harmonies, but I've never been so attracted to the melody as you have played it here: so clear, so perfectly in tune with everything going on around it. That, coupled with the tempo you take, which gives the music much-needed breathing space, makes this a highly enjoyable interpretation. Beautifully played, as ever. And I agree with @ValseMelancolique. Thank you for this.
Julian, I love your videos and the fact that you feature composers who are not so well known nowadays or who are rare. I heard Sorabji for the first time when I was 16, on RUclips, on John Ogdon's recordings. I also listened to Leo Ornstein. Both retained an incredible piece of my adolescence and memory. I'd never heard this one, and although I was aware of its "exploratory" nature, I couldn't have imagined hearing your interpretation of Sorabji - magnificent, as always. I loved this composition, with its debussyan and jazzy colours. Keep enchanting us with your spectacular musical taste and touch! Hugs from Brazil! ❤
Very nice presentation - I could never ‘get into’ any commercial and/or recent performances of this work, as they quickly veer off the path of the composer’s direction of tempo, which is a rare occurrence with metronomic markings in his music from what I have experienced, these ‘players’ are many and quick to run to a finish-line, completely losing the Debussian atmosphere and I am out of breath as well as a Listener from the Racehorses finishing their laps in a single breath! Maybe I will try the piece out myself after this refreshing performance.
@@aardigrade I really did nothing else than sticking to the actual written tempo of 45 per eighth *or even less*. I choose about 42 for this - most performances I find also start with about 45 but then accelerate to 60-80 or even 100 per EN in parts. However, I can't find any markings in the score that would allow such a drastic increase in speed. Given that he denoted instructions very meticulously throughout the whole composition I wouldn't understand why such a crucial information about a drastic tempo change would not be written down, if necessary. I do like many Performances of this piece that do that, however.
Hey, good work so far. But, must say, it need much more shaping. You're playing so much of it with the same tone and directionless tempo that it gets tiring to listen to and breaks any atmosphere you're trying to create.
Crazy seeing Sorabji on here
