MELBOURNE - A violinist in England has smashed the record for the fastest performance of Flight of the Bumblebee.
Professional musician, Oliver Lewis, 39, completed his fast fiddle rendition of the Rimsky-Korsakov piece live on the long-running BBC children’s program Blue Peter overnight.
His time of one minute 3.356 seconds, witnessed in the studio by a Guinness World Records representative, shaved nearly a second off the previous record, reports The Age.
Learning of his success after the attempt was verified for accuracy, Lewis, from east London said: “I feel so much relief, thank you very much.”(ANI)
