Ah...Mahler's 4th.

Yup S. Ursula appears in the poem set in the last movement of Mahler 4
Joan Ursula Lock became Mrs VW
Ursula Andress emerged from the sea in "Dr No" (note my 50th anniversary tribute on 1st Oct: the film appeared in Oct 1962 )

Certainly your V, Northo

Which 'V' links three British composer/conductors?

Which 'V' links three British composer/conductors?

A tantalising puzzle, this. We are presumably in the 20th century?

[Northender]

We are!

[amateur51]

Which 'V' links three British composer/conductors?

Britten, Boult and Vaughan Williams - all three had their bread delivered in a van?

[vinteuil]

... the answer in cases like this usually turns out to be Violet Gordon-Woodhouse. But not, I suspect, this time.

I wasn't aware that Boult was a composer....but Britten is certainly one of the three you need.

[mercia]

I can make the word variations fit for at least four British composer/conductors

so that's probably incorrect

Nicely-put, vinmousseux !

Britten, Boult and Vaughan Williams - all three had their bread delivered in a van?

Whereas Sir Malcolm Arnold made his own?

Whereas Sir Malcolm Arnold made his own?

Don't be silly - Sir Malcolm was devoted to Energen rolls which he used to buy in the High Street while getting his bottle of Buckfast each morning

[amateur51]

I wasn't aware that Boult was a composer....but Britten is certainly one of the three you need.

Ah ... the distinction between composer/conductor and composer-conductor had me fooled there, y'see

[Nick Armstrong]

Energen rolls

Blimey... haven't heard of those for decades... What were they? Used to see packets of them round my grand-parents (or was it parents?)...

[Northender]

The link is not Variations. By composer/conductor I mean a composer who also conducted (or a conductor who also composed).
