Handel, Franck and Durufle provide the initial musical steps in this concert, warming up the voices for Rodgers’ "Edelweiss" and Strauss’ The Blue Danube. More music from the Waltz King is heard in part two, as arias from his opera Die Fledermaus, as well as from Mozart's Die Zauberflote, open the way for folk songs from China, Japan and Europe. Franz Farnberger steers the St. Florian Boys’ Choir over musical waves, dropping anchor in the deep waters of the Austrian tradition.
