Rainer Hersch’s April Fools Day Concert 2013 (PAL DVD)

Whether you are a music professor or couldn't tell a bar of music from a bar stool, this is the concert you have been waiting for.

At a sold-out Royal Festival Hall, London, Rainer Hersch "the world's first classical music hooligan" (The Sun) brings together stars of music and comedy to produce an evening of inspired humour and musical mayhem.

Rainer's guests include the iconic Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, virtuoso comedian and impressionist Alistair McGowan, pianistic superstar Marc-André Hamelin and brilliant soprano-cabarettist Lindsay Sutherland Boal.

A guaranteed laugh every four bars.
