RSNO Naked Classics: Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique

Alan Coady, 19th November

The RSNO’s Naked Classics series continues to draw sizeable crowds, and it’s not difficult to see why. A single work is dissected and then, after the interval, performed. Admirably, even the analytical first half opens with music; a passage from the piece at hand is played before the presenter takes the stage.Paul Rissmann continues to impress in this role.
