on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE WIRELESS ORCHESTRA, conducted by JOHN ANSELL
THE plot of the Opera Euryanthe was made out of a thirteenth-century tale of knightly doings, full also of ghosts, fairies and suchlike legendary folk. The work did not hold the stage; its libretto was too silly, even for those days. But the Overture found and retained a place on the concert platform. In it, Weber strikes the notes oi chivalry and mystery. According to his characteristic plan, it contains fragments of the Opera's leading airs.
