Friday Night is Music Night with Rainer Hersch.

Friday Night is Music Night with Rainer Hersch.

In a programme orginally broadcast for Red Nose day Rainer sets out to prove that classical music doesn't have to be serious. No stranger to the radio airwaves Rainer's presented many series for 主播大秀 Radio 4, but this is his first appearance as conductor and presenter of the world's longest running orchestral radio show - Friday Night is Music Night.

Tonight's programme will feature the 主播大秀 Concert Orchestra and the London Voices with Rainer's own take on Pachelbel's Canon, the William Tell Overture, Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter and Leopold Mozart's Concerto for Hosepipe and Strings. There will be memories of musical legends Gerard Hoffnung and Victor Borge; and a rare performance of the Missa Hilarious by PDQ Bach.

Ken Bruce will be on hand as master of ceremonies.

Concert first broadcast on 17th March 2017.

1 hour, 57 minutes
