His fame as a composer mainly rests on his violin concertos; and as a composer for his instrument he has enjoyed a wider popularity than almost anyone since Sphor (Paganini’s contemporary and also a great violinist). Towards the end of his life Vieuxtemps was stricken with paralysis, a cruel fate for a _ virtuoso violinist. 9.22 Recordings: Florence Vickland (soprano), Evelyn MacGregor (contralto), William Hain (tenor), Crane Calder (bass), Grace Castagnetta and Milton Kaye (piano) "Liebeslieder Waltzer," Op. + Bee Seeerererse Brahms’ first series of ‘Love Song Waltzes," composed in 1869, consists of eighteen settings of translations by Daumer of Russian, Polish and Magyar folk-poetry. The music shows Brahms in the happiest and lightest of moods, and it isthe fruit of his residence in Vienna. In Germany, where the waltz is slightly heavier in texture than we know it here, the " Liebeslieder" Waltzes have always been popular. Much of Brahms’ early popularity in Germany dates from their publication. 9.46 The Studio Orchestra, "Le Lac des Cygnes" Tschaikovski 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH AND MELODY 11. 0 CLOSE DOWN | y 880 k.c. 341m. 5. 0-6.0 p.m. Light musical programme 7.0 After dinner music 8. 0 "Organ Reveries"’ 8.15 Variety show 9. 0 ‘*Crazy Couplets"" 9.30 With the Light Opera Company and musical comedy stars 10. 0 Light recitals 40.30 Close down
