Following the tribute to Oscar Straus, 'Prince of Vienna,' comes this series of four broadcasts.
These programmes will be deliberately nostalgic, presenting a musical picture of the Vienna of yesterday - gay, charming, and romantic. This lovely city will be seen through the eyes of Noelle Middleton, who plays the part of a British girl visitor on a four weeks' exchange holiday. Noelle Middleton, well known to viewers as an announcer, will be making her first appearance in sound radio. Her host and guide will be Bernard Grun, a close friend of Oscar Straus (and himself a composer who has lived In Vienna for more than twenty years. He will take listeners to many of the famous landmarks in and mound the city: the Palace of Schonbrunn, the Vienna Woods, Grinzing, St. Stephen's, the Vienna Opera, and further afield to the beautiful White Horse Inn in the Salzkammergut; and, of course, the Blue Danube.
