Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) - 'Berceuse' from the 'Dolly' suite - 'BBC 'Listen with Mother' theme
[media=https://youtu.be/r1jUmqel1Is]
This will be familiar to Brits of my age! It was the theme tune to the BBC's 'Listen with Mother' programme on what was then the Home Service (now Radio 4). I remember this from my pre-school days over sixty years ago now. My parents' kitchen, the extension speaker from the living room 'wireless' , as we then called it, on top of the kitchen cabinet. And this beautiful little tune introducing the storybook programme in the early afternoon.
Why do I suddenly remember? BBC Radio 3 played it this morning 👍💕
