Quartet playing at Reserl's Birthday Party
Here is another broadcast from the imaginary hut in the Austrian Alps in which, with lusty singing of local songs and the music of the Schrammel Quartet, local inhabitants and tourists join in half an hour of characteristic fun.
The little inns of the Austrian
Tyrol are noted for their atmosphere of camaraderie and informal jollity, and here is one that may be called typical of them all. This afternoon it is the birthday of the innkeeper's daughter, Reserl, who sings Bavarian folk-songs, and when the tourists, Rita Cave and Jacques Brown , arrive they will find a scene of rollicking bonhomie. Producer Anthony Hall went to an Anglo-German dance the other night, and has persuaded some Austrian folk-song experts whom he met, to come along.
