Whooops! Sorry - builders round doing things with tape measures! Apologies for the late arrival of ....


Originally a lost Erdmann (Schreker was not quite involved, too) later Popol Vuh. Which N?

AH! excellent! Have been otherwise engaged today too. Shall now turn the braincell to your puzzle!

[Nick Armstrong]

Nosferatu ? A wild guess.

Glad to see you're back, Rezza!

[Resurrection Man]

Thank you, Caliban.

Have now edited the response.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

And Friedrich Gustav Maximilian Schreck was the actor in Nosferatu (not quite Schreker.....drop off the last two letters)

... an indisputable Full House from ResMan who gets the OK from me!

So much for my brain cell... I would have got Max Schreck I think, had a couple more cells been available...

[Resurrection Man]

I did go off on a wild goosechase tracking down a different Erdmann...Mojca Erdmann...who I had never heard of and hadn't had the opportunity to hear.
I must have a listen to see if she is on Youtube.

Mojca Erdmann began the 2011-2012 season with a double debut at the Metropolitan in New York as Zerlina in a new production of Don Giovanni conducted by James Levine and as Waldvogel in Siegfried.


Ah yes, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spS4v6guHHc. A rather nice voice IMO.

[Resurrection Man]

That was a really good clue, ferneyh. Sorry for the slight delay..been listening with great delight to Ms Erdmann. She reminds me very much of Natalie Dessay who I saw at The Palais Garnier in Julius Caesar.

OK.... an O please.

Andrew Mansfield - keyboard player?

Edit: There are three components and they all link to the same person.

[Nick Armstrong]

an O please.

Andrew Mansfield - keyboard player?

Is that it?! Wow, Concision Man!

Are there three clues buried in those four words?

Spot on. That was too easy.
