A classical concert is like sex: you don't know how long it will last, you don't know what you should be thinking about, and it can be embarrassing if you start clapping in the wrong place.

Brilliant British comedian (and classical pianist) Rainer Hersch presents a comprehensive run-down on the fraught personal subject of classical music. Ever wonder why they made you learn the recorder? What they are actually singing in the opera? What do conductors actually do? It's all here – live and in hilarious form.

Whether you are a music professor or can't tell a string quartet from a string vest, relax: All Classical Music Explained will teach you nothing but it will make you laugh. Really laugh.

"Not since Victor Borge has a musician-comedian raised the roof with such continuous laughter" The Post, South Africa.
