Wagner
Comedian Kieran Hodgson as 'Ralph Lewis' introduces us to the music of Wagner. With Harry Enfield and Colin Hoult. From 2017.
Can self-described 'music educator and inspiration' Ralph Lewis (the man behind 'Mozart's Mowing Masterclass' and 'How Clean is your Strauss') persuade self-confessed 'enemy of culture' Paul, that Wagner's worth a listen, and not just music for Nazis?
Critically-acclaimed comedian Kieran Hodgson - as Ralph Lewis - presents comedy intros to the great composers.
Written and starring Kieran Hodgson
With:
Colin Hoult
Harry Enfield
Producer: Sam Ward
A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Studios production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2017.
