I used to find her unlistenable-to, largely because of her adjectival diarrhoea

To me, this epithet might well apply to Catherine Bott, except that I still find her unlistenable.

[rubbernecker]

it can't be Jones, so it must be...

Jarvi.

Neeme (born 1937), Paavo (born 1962) and Kristjan (born 1972) - all conductors born in Tallinn.

Apologies for the delay. Paavo and Kristjan of course being Neeme's sons.

Well done, Taps.

You get the dubious honour of trying to drum up another K

Oh I like her a lot, especially the trouble she takes to pronounce what others might call 'furrinlengwagez' ;smiley:

Just out of a strange meeting and about to depart for home, where I may have very limited access to the interweb, so apologies if a) responses are sporadic and b) this hastily conceived "K" is not up to usual standards. In other words, it's very easy indeed:

What K might connect certain passages of the Adagio from Mahler's 10th, certain works by Schoenberg and a certain arrangement of a Bach ricercar?

[amateur51]

you nearly had me trying to look up a Bach cantata called

Fur in lang war es

Sorry, mercia - very good.

It was my attempt at Mr Cholmondley-Warner

One listener, a Mr Stephen Fry, has just twittered "could that be K for Köchel numbers, Miss Peach?' What a charming idea, Mr Fry. Here's a recording of Vilem Tausky and his City Slickers with Bald's Night on Mountain by someone in D flat as a reward. By the way it's 'Pietsch' pronounced Peach so you were jolly well nearly there

Thank goodness you said that Caliban

I thought I was missing something.

Klangfarbenmelodie?

Excellent work, mercia. Woud you care to expand upon the Bach ricercar in question?

The "L" is all yours...

[mercia]

Woud you care to expand upon the Bach ricercar in question?

of course I would

um, Webern's orchestration of the six-part ricercar from the Musical Offering?

I hope

I must read up on this K word, it sounds interesting

[Angle]

Sir, sir, I know!

[Angle]

But this is a not a good time, what with Mahler's Eighth on BBC 4

[Angle]

Seems there's even a Klangfarben Orchestra

[mercia]

(just watching Mahler 8 on BBC 4. I do find those fugal passages in the first movement exciting. The tense feeling that it might all just fall apart!!)




an L please who

married in Gretna Green, was the dedicatee of a Liszt <sad face> concerto and wrote an opera on "The Incorruptible"

all one person

[Tapiola]

Klangfarbenmelodien all round I think! Make them doubles You are both making me envious of the fact that I am in no position to watch BBC4 presently.

Now to L...

Why the sad face mercia? We all love Ferencz around these parts
