Description

Explore the life and work of one of the most unique figures in classical music history. Sorabji: A Critical Celebration provides the first dedicated study of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988), a Parsi composer and critic who lived in England. Known for compositions of extreme length and difficulty, Sorabji famously banned public performances of his work, creating a legendary status that often bordered on myth. This book moves beyond the reputation of an eccentric composer to reveal a highly original and accomplished musical thinker. Through a detailed examination of his life, character, music, articles, and letters, this text provides a balanced view that both presents his legend and corrects exaggerated claims. As recent recordings and performances bring his work back to the forefront, this Routledge publication serves as an essential resource for understanding his contribution to the musical world.
