    The Well of Love certainly seems to set us Well and truly on the right track. The Good-Natured Keyboard I did get. As for pop royalty, B.B. King, Queen and Prince seem to take away from any Well. Trevor and his Dec. venue are a mystery.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Trevor Horn produced 'Do They Know It's Christmas', which includes the phrase 'Well tonight thank God it's them'

        Well done LMcD & French Frank.
        Yes, Well Tempered Clavier & The Well of Love.

        FF is spot on with Queen.
        Trevor took his harp....... to a party & somebody asked him to play.

                Discogs might help... a Castle is involved.

                Bit of local trivia I stumbled across at Christmas... What recording venue does Trevor Pinnock have in common with Queen, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath & Deep Purple?

                      Clearwell Castle once housed a recording studio used by Led Zeppelin, Trevor Pinnock and others. (It's now a wedding venue),

                        Hurray.

                        Discogs link to Trevor Pinnock's Six Partitas BWV 825-830, recorded Dec. 1984 at Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean.

                        Well done LMcD, with contibutions from French Frank & vinteuil. The XYZ baton passes on...

                              Can't wait for the answer - I got two of the three wrong and was stumped for a connection!

                                It is indeed - can you please enlighten other Forumistas as to the works involved? .(I had 2 by Mahler in mind, either of which is acceptable).
