Who wrote Three Tales, and whose ensemble included percussionist and sound engineer Paul Zinman.Originally posted by mercia View Post
David Zinman recorded Torke's Ecstatic Orange ("tangeine"-ish) and Mahler's Seventh Symphony which includes a part for mandolin (played on the recording by Rita Scuttersthwaite?)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Up to there is 100% correct. My "I couldn't understand it" was a fairly heavy hint, to the particular Tale or story in question. Methinks ferneyhg knows it!Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
It's also definitely to be found in Rita's Mandolin (nearly wrote mandarin). This is a little more obscure, but not to me as I know the composer from years ago at The Institute of Sonology

News to ferneyhgOriginally posted by hedgehog View Post ... I thought (Ms Scuttersthwaite aside) Zinman was in the right region. But
... seems to be a clue: are we associating Rita's mandolin with Orpheus' lyre?I know the composer from years ago at The Institute of Sonology

no it's not really a clue. If you were to google Rita and mandolin you'd get a lot further. Or you could look at the titles within the Tale in question. Or tangerine - without the dream - might be found in someone's "portfolio of compositions" within the prog rock genre? If no-one comes up with the right answer next round I'll give a more weighty clue.......Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostNews to ferneyhg ...

Hmmm ... so not Peter Zinovieff, either.
The Three Tales are "Bikini", "Dolly" and "Hindenburg" ... no immediate z comes to mind ... ?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
