Rainer Hersch's comedy show All Classical Music Explained has been broadcast by BBC Radio 4 in a 6-part series and sold out festivals across the world from Scotland to New Zealand. At its heart are those difficult questions: ‘why is organ music so boring?’; ‘what did Mozart steal from ABBA?’ and ‘what do conductors actually do?’ Whether you are a music professor or can’t tell string quartets from a string vest, relax: All Classical Music Explained will teach you nothing but it will make you laugh. Really laugh.
