Pianist Sets World Record With 27-Hour Concert
05/19/09 - Amazing
“A Canadian musician, Gonzales, has broken the world record for the longest-ever solo concert after he succeeded in playing the piano for a grueling 27 hours, three minutes and 44 seconds. The 37-year-old musician overtook the Guinness record-holder Prasanna Gudi of India who made history by playing raga for 26 hours and 12 minutes in December. Gonzales took the stage at midnight on Sunday at a small theatre in Montmartre, Paris, seated at his upright piano next to a large digital clock tracking his marathon performance.” w/ photo
