I do hope you have slaved all afternoon over that homemade lasagne and it's not Marks and Sparks?

Yep, if it's the weekend it's ferney at the cooker - an hour's preparation then an hour in the oven. Then I make the dinner!

I'm sure no-one wants to leap in with an S, waiting for yours will fuel the anticipation ......

I liked cali's Q: I'd heard some of Bruno's Music, but I still think of "cascading strings" whenever I see "Mantovani"!

Openings to memorable balls and an oratorio after a Hunt. Which S brew is this?

I concentrate more on The Bridge than I do on work in the office

No comment.

There you go!

The great benefit of Mercia's Excuse-Me is that mercia can leap on the solution without fearing he'll have to set a puzzle, as the next letter is already spoken for!

Yup J-GQ lived in those three countries when young, premièred Bruno Mantovani's Cello Concerto in 2005, and plays a Goffredo Cappa cello from 1696.

Don't think we've had Queyras before, have we?

Oh no? And Mr Mantovani too.

Flippin' kidz

[Anna]

Phew!
It's just that it's rare one has to concentrate on one thing for 2 hours at a stretch... More short sharp bursts, normally... (with time for some AA relaxation from time to time in between!)

Oh, if I weren't such a lady I'd say - bugler off, when HMCR are demanding £42,000 from me, re my late departed brother. Go on Guv, lendus a fiver ...........
Sorry about that. Who cares? I am strong,

[mercia]

Oh no? And Mr Mantovani too.

oh dear, beg pardon, we have indeed had Queyras before

[Anna]

Oh dear, beg pardon, we have indeed had queyras before

[mercia]

Who cares?

oh, we do Anna
very sorry to hear that

this sounds like we're in the world of Berlioz but I can't work it out

Nothing to do with Berlioz, sorry.

I've had a rather belated and unannounced siesta

Yes I was thinking "Storm" à la Berlioz, then dropped off...

Will have to let the subconscious work on this as coffee and a trip across The Bridge are in order now

an oratorio after a Hunt

wikipedia tells me that Sullivan wrote an oratorio inspired by William Holman Hunt The Light of the World
and there's an Overture di Ballo

however, that's me done for today
