Didn't Simon start AA as an alternative to CC, rather than a replacement? Didn't CC run as a Christmas/New Year "special" beginning at Advent and ending at Epiphany?

Well it's all ancient history. Alien even.

If this is meant to be an earnest answer, it's wrong.

(But I'd be interested in hearing how you got to it!)

Yes it was. I've been far and wide since: to Amsterdam, to Montpellier Chez l'avocat, hounding Christopher Fox; all over the net.

Guardian Alien is a music project started by drummer Greg Fox.

I tried to get this to fit too:

Well; like you said earlier - all useful stuff for future puzzles. (The trouble I have is that I can never remember them! Why is it that whenever you have a really good "J", you find every "I" puzzle uncrackable?)

Is your foxy buffoon anything to do with Ansermet premiering Renard?

Alternatively Ferrier connevtion with Angel from Gerontius?

Yes: split "fox" and "buffoon" for your next shoot.

Umm Ansermet premiered really quite a lot of interesting repertoire besides Stravinsky. Britten's Rape of Lucretia with Ferrier too.

He did, indeed - any shots at the "buffoon"?

[mercia]

Prokofiev Chout aka Mr Pastry

Or even Chout!

Blimey! Simultaneous buffoonery! (Only on AA )

So - we have Ernest Ansermet
who conducted the Premieres of Stravinsky's Renard (the Fox)
Prokofiev's Chout (the Buffoon)
and Britten's Rape of Lucretia with Ferrier in the title role (Goodall - Regie, not Howard - conducting the performances where Nancy Evans played the role).

cloughie reached Ansermet and Stravinsky first, edjog Lucretia and a photo finish between cloughie and mercs for Prokofiev.

cloughie wins on points, I think, so it behoves him to bewilder us next!

Only just seen it's me - been busy.

A B first appeared in La Boheme, sounds fit for purpose but certain activity will mean will not improve.

That's always niggled away at the back of my mind as one of the more incomprehensible things ever posted on the Forum...
