Description:

Sorabji's blockbuster work, "100 Exercises", is finally complete! English composer and pianist Kaikhshru Shapruzi Sorabji (1892-1988)'s epic work "100 Exercises" has finally been recorded in its entirety! Although he had some basic training in counterpoint and harmony, Sorabji was largely self-taught in composition and piano. His excellent skills led him to give solo concerts, but he eventually abandoned his concert activities and later became active as a composer and critic. The "100 Exercises" are grueling and difficult, taking seven hours to play through all 100 pieces. The sixth collection contains Nos. 84 to 100. All of them are full of crazy music, but also full of the bewitching beauty that only the piano can provide. The entire recording by the virtuoso Fredrik Ullén is a great accomplishment!
