RSNO - Naked Classics @ Caird Hall - May 19th, 2011 @ 7.30 pm
The RSNO's ground-breaking naked classics is coming to dundee for the very first time... Naked Classics is your chance to find out everything you wanted to know about classical music but were afraid to ask! Presenter Paul Rissmann uses a fresh, funny and informal mixture of projections, lighting, excerpts from the Orchestra and interviews with players to reveal the stories behind the music - what the world was like when this music was first heard, why it was written and how it was composed. Then, after the interval, sit back and enjoy the work being performed in all its glory by the RSNO. Haydn's final symphony was also the last of his musical postcards from London. Its premiere in 1795 earned him a fortune - but after writing 104 symphonies you wouldn't begrudge him that, would you? For this very special, end-of-Season Naked Classics, Paul and authentic performance specialist Roy Goodman strip back the veneer to see what lies beneath this popular classic.
