Hi Corno Dolce,

How did you happen to come across gems like this one? In all my years as an organist, I've never heard of this particular work and lots of others. Wondering if this is because of my particular geographic location?

Hello Krummhorn,

Naaah, it shouldn't be because of your demographic location, particularly not since you have one of the nations finest schools of music in your neighborhood. The Sorabji Symphony is performed by Kevin Bowyer:

Sorabji wrote three organ symphonies.

Here's the Sorabji Archive from which you can order sheet music by Sorabji:

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

p.s. I just noticed that the recording of Sorabji's organ symphony No. 1 is unavailable. Maybe someone has *ripped* a copy of it on Limewire. :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Oh I love that one! Strauss wrote a lot of good pieces along with some
good waltzes. Sprach Zarathustra is the one used on the movie 2001
along with the Blue Danube, Roses from the south, and more pretty
waltzes.

Every day, I listen to many hours of music - at least three hours of classical. Today so far, I have been listening to all the MP3 files posted in the Pipe Organ forum. Wonderful music that makes the heart sing. I enjoy J S Bach's Organ music often. Many nights have 6 hours of classical music playing softly - a great way to fall asleep, and wake up - I only sleep 6 hours a night, so it serves as my reverse alarm clock - the music stops, I wake up.;)

Hi !
This afternoon, I listen to Stephen Best's organ work, from Giwro's Web site.
Very nice tunes, very beautifull solo trumpet, very realistic organ sound ....

Hi Phillip,

Nice to talk to you. That's a good question about Mozart's: oboe or clarinet? In the end, I guess the answer will fall almost always on the taste of the one who listen, but it gives a good discussion! I liked your "1791"; the theme that first appears at 0:20 is absolutely wonderful. BTW, beautiful photo on the page. Oh, I found "An Unforgettable Joy" specially passionate.

Thank you! Nice to talk with you too! I find some melodies best suited to certain instruments."1791" together with "Mozart in Love" and the piece on my home page "Into His Countenance" are set to be recorded sometime next year. I'll let you know the outcome. The year is winding down. Enjoy......

Well, over the last couple of days I've heard Alexander Boyd in recital playing Bach's Bb Partita, Schumann's Davidsbundler Tanze, a selection of Debussy Preludes and some of Rachmaninoff's Etudes Tableaux - his interpretations were articulate and true. I struggle with Schumann though...I've also listened to Rautavarra's Cantus Arcticus and Icons, a selection of songs by Franz Holford , Francis Poulenc and Ned Rorem. Rorem's "Ferry Me Across The Water" I found especially touching. Less is often more....
