Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988) was an unusual legend in his
own lifetime: a Parsi composer and critic living in England whose
compositions are of such length and difficulty that he felt
compelled to ban public performances of them. This book, the first
devoted to Sorabji, explores his life and character, his music, his
articles and letters. It both presents the legend accurately and
dispels its exaggerated aspects. The portrait which emerges is not
of a crank or eccentric but of a highly original and accomplished
musical thinker whom recent performances and recordings confirm as
unique and important. Most of the contributors knew Sorabji
personally. They have all written about or performed his music,
gaining international recognition for their work. Generous
quotation of Sorabji's published and unpublished music and prose
assists in bringing him and his work strikingly to life. The book
also contains the most complete and accurate register of his work
ever published.
