I'm rather confused. I think I'll leave this to ferney & co.

You have got Ifor the horn player. Somewhere we have Pinocchio. Now who provided the source material for two operas by the same composer who is being discussed on another thread in Platform 3?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Now what about the other two?

"other two"? I thought ...

So, not Rachmaninoff's Francesca da Jimini, then?

HENRY Jiminy! (Britten's Turn of the Screw and Owen Wingrave two far-from sub-standard Operas.)

I am totally confused, by Jiminy, having been out all day. I think I'll go out again (i.e. cycle home ).

HENRY Jiminy! (Britten's Turn of the Screw and Owen Wingrave two far-from sub-standard Operas.)

Got there at last:

Henry James
Ifor James
Pinocchio James (jazz singer)

I met Ifor James in 1965. He was performing at the Durham Festival of Twentieth Century Music and came to join us in the bar after the evening concert. A wonderful raconteur.

So ferney gets K, I think. OK?

Not really: I only got the "Henry" association: Anna got Pinocchio which led me down the "Jiminy" blind alley. Mercia got "Ifor".

Stonking good puzzler, subby!

I so wish I could pretend this were true, Cali: alas I was of the sincere conviction that I was on the right track!

A Gottingen Symphonist.
Goldberg's frequent partner.
A shadowy Baritone.

(And I'm impressed with your lightning reflexes, Norf: it took me much longer to "research"!)
