I've been listening to a good deal of Sorabji lately. The beautiful BIS release of Frederik Ullen's performance of the first twenty-five pieces of Sorabji's 100 Transcendental Studies a year or so ago first introduced me and ever since then I've been fascinated. His works are impossibly convoluted, difficult, challenging listens but their direction, and often enough the sound too, comes across as peaceful and reassuring.
Currently my favorites would be the 100 Transcendental Studies and Le Jardin Parfume. His massive Opus Clavicembalisticum has not yet revealed its own tortured beauty to me just yet the way, for instance, Feldman's similarly sized String Quartet No. II immediately did. Regardless, Sorabji seems a legend worth investigating deeply.
