nicholas_kraemer.jpgStand by for that rare creature - a live studio broadcast in the middle of Classical Collection. People like me will be delighted to hear the BBC Philharmonic having a go at Haydn's Symphony No 8 (Le Soir), conducted by Nicholas Kraemer, on Wednesday at 11 am. The orchestra normally fields around 60-70 players. Any guesses on the number that will be involved for this performance? Will they use a harpsichord?
