 The pianist and composer Jonathan Powell writes of Sorabji's "unusual ability to combine the disparate and create surprising coherence". Abrahams finds that Sorabji's musical oeuvre exhibits enormous "variety and imagination" and the ability to "develop a unique personal style and employ it freely at any scale he chose". Bowyer counts Sorabji's organ works, together with those of Messiaen, as among the "Twentieth Century Works of Genius".
