Despite the fact that Kaikhosru Sorabji wrote his Transcendental Studies in the early 1940s, most of these individual pieces were not performed for more than fifty years after their composition. This new release is Fredrik Ullen’s fifth installment in his survey of these works, and features twelve of the 100 studies. Sorabji’s Transcendental Studies Nos 72-83 are featured on this release. Especially intriguing is No 75, a Passacaglia, which is one of the longest of these works at almost 29 minutes. The piece receieved its debut performance in 2003 by Fredrik Ullen himself.
