' Continental Serenade' with Nora Gruhn
Otto Fassel and The BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Conducted by Mark H. Lubbock
This is the first of a number of programmes under this title that will be broadcast from time to time in the ' Saturday at nine-forty-five ' series. These ' Continental Serenades ' will present selections of big musical hits which have come from all parts of the Continent during the past eighty years or so. There will be popular classics, opera and operetta numbers, songs, and so on. Most of the music will be easily recognised, though from time to time you may hear some Continental hit which for some reason or another has never established itself in Britain.
