A bouquet of flowers by Flotow, Tchaikovsky, Strauss Berlioz , Frangaix, Weber and others on gramophone records
This programme is a kind of bouquet of music about flowers, and mostly about roses. After Flotow's aria come two settings of Gautier's evocation of the spirit of the rose, a work by Jean Francaix based on a clock made up of flowers that bloom at different times during twenty-four hours, and the Rose Adagio from Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty. The potpourri continues with songs by Schumann. Schubert, and Edward German , and ends with Viennese waltzes by Johann and Richard Strauss.
