Some general properties of perturbed (rational) CFT in the background metricof symmetric 2D sphere of radius $R$ are discussed, including conformalperturbation theory for the partition function and the large $R$ asymptotic.The truncated conformal space scheme is adopted to treat numerically perturbedrational CFT's in the spherical background. Numerical results obtained for thescaling Lee-Yang model lead to the conclusion that the partition function is anentire function of the coupling constant. Exploiting this analytic structure weare able to describe rather precisely the ``experimental'' truncated spacedata, including even the large $R$ behavior, starting only with the CFTinformation and few first terms of conformal perturbation theory.Comment: Extended version of a talk presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Statistical Field Theories, Como 18--23 June 200
