Sorabji Organ Symphony No. 1 Kevin Bowyer

A unique issue and a landmark in the history of recording. Kaikhosru Sorabji, misunderstood genius or mighty imposter, is nowhere better served than in Kevin Bowyer’s unbelievable performance described by Gramophone magazine as “beyond praise”.

Recorded on the organ of St Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol, UK using Breul and Kaejar omni-directional microphones, this issue provides sound of extraordinary range and depth, not for the faint-hearted listener. Never reviewed in the Penguin record Guide nor broadcast by the BBC, this premium download finally gives you the opportunity of asking your sound equipment some really major questions - especially in your speaker’s lowest regions.

Buttercup Classics takes no responsibility for broken windows or fractured bass units.
