The BBC Theatre Orchestra (leader, Tate Gilder ), conductor, Stanford Robinson
'Reverie', a programme of quiet music late in the evening, designed to soothe rather than to exhilarate, proved to be one of the most appealing of the Theatre Orchestra's programmes.
Tate Gilder will once again be heard playing the signature tune
' E Canta il Grillo' (The Cricket Sings). This charming little Italian song by Billi seems to intrigue listeners very much and many have written to enquire its name. It certainly sets very aptly the mood of the programme.
