Don't know if it's intentional, but your interpretation has some flavour of Sorabji's own playing of it. Very bright, dreamy, elegant, sensual and energetic! Just the most fantastic one out there! Thank you very, very much, Jacob Adler!
One of the most sublime and gorgeous sections of Gulistan--23:10-23:40--and you recite it so well. Way to go, also, for "holding" all these notes "together" to communicate clearly the full tapestry that is this piece.
Your performance captures the "fantasy" that epitomizes this piece, and comes close to the Hopkins recording. But your version is also a "stand-alone" from the others in its uniqueness, e.g., Hopkins, Powell, Habermann, and Xi Xin Liang (UA-cam). I wish this recording came packaged in a CD jewel case with all the accompanying inserts and notes. Good job.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Because CD players/drives are going obsolete I decided to release the recording as a digital download accompanied by 12 artworks inspired by Gulistan, some of which are available printed and framed: jacobadler.bandcamp.com/album/gulist-n
@@jacob_adler CD players/drives going obsolete? I hope not! I've got thousands of CDs (piano) and records, too. Speaking of which, I just purchased a new record player, so I don't necessarily see things becoming obsolete; maybe not as widespread, but nevertheless still available. Keep playing. Your Gulistan is really stupendous.
@@philosophyprof4999 You're right, CDs are not yet obsolete - I just haven't had a CD-playing device for years. Thanks again for your compliments on the Gulistan recording. I am currently working on Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano sonata.
Glad you enjoyed it! Naparstek (Polish for thimble) was the name of my ancestors. I did my best to tune the piano to equal but there are little imperfections. Just a little private joke.

This is a very nice rendition, possibly on par with my favorite recording (Hopkins)

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time ever since I heard the excerpt you had posted 2 years ago
Hope it gains traction.
Get a record deal. See if Hyperion would be interested in recording you perform this.
this was fantastic thank you very much.
what is a naparstek temperament?
