Probably why it sounds so rich, in a La Monte Young-ey kind of way. Funnily enough, Fiona Talkington was playing the first track of Koln on her request program last Sunday as Mrs R and I got in the car after our walk. Mrs R, to give her credit, correctly identified it before me. :cool2:Originally posted by antongould View PostComment

Time to recap and, hopefully, conclude this tonight. So far we have:
- a father and son, both conductors, but not Jaarvi or Jansons, or anyone else without the essential J. How many more can there be...?
- an American hymn tune;
- a 20th century literary work about the life of a businessman called Robert with incidental music.Comment
-
Philippe Jordan is the son of conductor Armin Jordan!Comment

Just back from dinner and I have to say: yes! he was! Arvid Jansons - I went to see him conducting Rachmaninov's Second with the Leningrad Phil (as they then were) in 1982 in Leningrad! One of my most treasured musical memories!Originally posted by hercule View Post

Congratulations Anton, a full house.
J for Jordan and K for you.
I'm only sorry I didn't get to use my "Twin Peaks meets Silicon Valley" clue

Is it just me, rubbers, or was your J particularly obscure, even by the standards of this thread?"...the isle is full of noises,
