Ann & Philip ?

I assume this is a correct reference to Ann Murray and the late Philip Langridge (whom I first heard sing c.1956)

sorry, that's who I meant
wikipedia says Mr Langridge started out as an orchestral violinist, I hadn't realised that

I met up with him in 1964, when we had a chat over dinner in the refectory at University College, Durham, during the Durham Twentieth-Century Music Festival and Summer School. I was there as a student on the Summer School. He was there as a member of the John Aldiss Choir, who were giving that evening's concert. I introduced myself to him as a current pupil at the school which he had attended. He also knew my brother, as they had shared the tenor solo part in a performance of Haydn's Creation at our school a couple of years previously. He told me that he had worked as a freelance violinist while his voice developed and the singing engagements increased to provide a living.

Interesting, scb. He and his wife lived near Godalming where I also lived for 8 years, and I would from time to time see him on the train to London reading a score and learning a part, like others read the paper or a novel. You could see his lips and an arm moving slightly as he rehearsed it inwardly.

My first ever notes heard in an opera house were sung by PL - the Prologue to Turn of the Screw at the Coliseum

Is the N a name that links them? And if so is it a first or a family name?

Both in the ratio 2:1

[amateur51]

Both in the ratio 2:1

So that's two first names and one family name? And if so, is that in the order in which they appear in your puzzle?

Two family, then one first.
