Mahler
Kieran Hodgson as the inspirator 'Ralph Lewis' introduces us to Mahler’s music, with John Sessions and Colin Hoult. From 2017.
Can self-described 'music educator and inspiration' Ralph Lewis (the man behind 'In the Bedroom with Brahms' and 'Eating 5 A Day The Elgar Way') persuade self-confessed 'enemy of culture' Paul, that Mahler's worth a listen, and not just a load of old cowbells.
Critically-acclaimed comedian Kieran Hodgson - as Ralph Lewis - presents comedy intros to the great composers.
Written by and starring Kieran Hodgson.
With:
Colin Hoult
John Sessions
Producer: Sam Ward.
A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2017.
