The British organist Kevin Bowyer has put a Hamburg instrument through its toughest test by performing the second symphony of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988), the noted British iconoclast.

The performance lasted nine hours.

It was part of a daylong Sorabji immersion that began at 11.00 and ended at 23.10.
