Sorabji: Opus Clavicembalisticum

Too many clicks there. How about https://jdp.st-hildas.ox.ac.uk/lives...icembalisticum ?

It still shows as being processed, though and, as such, not yet available.

In the meantime, one of the small handful of Sorabji files on YouTube is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ8FOMX5xfM , a 22 minute section from the composer's sixth and final symphony for piano solo played by Jonathan Powell in the same venue as he played Opus Clavicembalisticum last Saturday.

Indeed so. The review to which you link was of Part 1 (not that the composer divided the work into thee parts as he did Opus Clav) and Jonathan wisely performed each part on separate occasions before giving the world première of the work as a whole in Glasgow in June 2010 (which I attended); he's given several more performance of it since then, in USA and in Maastricht. Sequentia Cyclica has also been recorded in Oxford's Jacqueline du Pré Music Building.
