    Sorry, no. No Englishmen (or Englishwomen) are involved.

      The three works concerned cover a 42-year period in the 20th century; the source material dates from the early 19th century.

          The K is not Keats (unless Keats was a closet German....)

                      I cannot play at the mo and me Kassel thingy was wrong. But Henze's L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe is, absolutely, after Lady McB of Mtsensk, the most sensational opera I have ever seen (and I don't like Opera)

                          Nor do I ... and I've never even heard of or read about that piece! Where on earth did you see it?!
                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              No progress since the Prince of Homburg appeared just before 3.00 p.m. He should lead you without too much trouble to 'K', I would have thought.

                                it's von Kleist. Penthesilea, the Broken Jug, and merckx's Homburg chappie....

                                Henze did the Homburg; Fritz Geißler did Der verbrochne Krug, and Othmar Schoeck Penthesilea.
