A Victorian Musical Evening

on BBC Radio 3

Mr Alan Melville introduces
Miss Sandra Dugdale (soprano) Mr William Bennett (flute) and Mr Clifford Benson (piano) in a programme of charming music that might well have been performed in an English parlour in the reign of Queen Victoria. Among the items are affecting melodies by several musical knights - Sir Arthur Sullivan , Sir Charles Stanford , Sir Henry Bishop and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, as well as little-known salon pieces by Monsieur Chopin and Herr Richard Wagner - and not forgetting Mrs Florence A. Marshall.
