Sorabji Resource Site (SRS)
Recordings Posted on Video-Hosting Websites
This page consists of an extensive but not exhaustive or complete list of links to performances of works by Sorabji posted on video-hosting (or video-sharing) websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, or SoundCloud; some radio broadcasts are also listed. The performances, usually are usually available as audio files only, are of the complete works, unless otherwise noted.
- Title: Listed in chronological order of composition, with the videos listed alphabetically by performer, then by date of posting if more than one.
- Performer: Name of the performer, in reverse order, unless it is a pseudonym, in which case it is given in quotation marks.
- Date: The date is that on which the recordings were published on the hosting service. Zeros are used if there is no publication date given, but only an indication such as “9 months ago”, as on SoundCloud. Links are to YouTube unless otherwise noted.
- Type:
- A: Audio only (may feature one or more still images as an accompaniment);
- N: Animation (piano roll notation, colours, etc.);
- S: Synchronized score (audio with images from the score following the music);
- V: Video (mentioned before S, when both apply).
- Exc.: A bullet (•) in this column indicates a recording of an excerpt from a larger work, details of which are given in the next column. A recording of a single etude from the Études transcendantes (100) (1940-44; 456 pp.) is not considered an excerpt in this context.
- Comments: Performance details, with recording dates when known.
The list is limited to original performances, and therefore does not normally include ripped commercial recordings that have been uploaded for the purpose of sharing, usually without the permission of the copyright holders, by people who are often use a pseudonym, whether or not their uploads add the benefit of following the score. The aim is to include performances uploaded by the performers themselves on their channel, or by others, when there is a reasonable assurance that the postings have been authorized. The inclusion of links does not imply endorsement of any aspect of either the performances or the recordings or of the legal status of the postings. Performances by non-professionals and sound files may or may not be listed.
YouTube has several playlists compiled by amateurs of Sorabji’s music and links to files uploaded by others.
Commercial recordings of music by Sorabji released on the BIS, Centaur, Danacord, Naxos, and Piano Classics labels are available on the Naxos Music Library (subscription required). In addition, YouTube increasingly features tracks from commercial recordings or complete recordings (as playlists) marked as having been “provided to YouTube”. These recordings, which also include the discs produced by Altarus, can be located with Google using the search string site:youtube.com sorabji "provided to youtube by".
Searches on Sorabji’s name using YouTube’s search engine are not entirely reliable, as they return many more links than expected, with several duplicates, and all the more so as one loads successive pages. Extracting the gems is far from easy. Recent uploads can be easily found by searching in reverse chronological order.
