    I hadn't realised that, but I'm glad you've mentioned it!

    I've been listening to Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji's 'Symphonic Nocturne' in preparation for the 'Toccata Seconda' concert this Sunday!

    It's on spotify if anyone's interested.

    It may sound difficult at first, and I must say 'Symphonic Nocturne' is not a particularly good introduction to Sorabji's music; for that I would recommend the Nocturne from Transcendental Studies, which I believe is on youtube. The waltz from Sequentia Cyclia Super Dies Irae is one of my favorites, but alas not free anywhere online. While his musical language is certainly complex, its complexity lends it a power of expression equal to the greatest composers I have heard. The gargantuan lengths of his compositions also make listening to one a very significant experience not to be taken lightly!
