    Now I've got to pack, off to Fort William for the weekend to see the in-laws. I was supposed to have done it all this evening while Mrs Flay is out. She is expected back in ½ hour must go.... I live my life in fear....
    Know the feeling Fortunately Mrs Oven is working abroad at the moment

      Was the pic of the producer really Mr Eno? Looks like a young lady! I was confused...

        No need to be excited cali. That picture was from his Roxy Music days in the early 70s. This is a later pic of Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

            He's Flaked out!

            Howz about an F that connects:

            A young Mozart's serenade that waited over 200 years for its first complete performance, a choral work part played to death on CFM, and a (hopefully) safe cruise
            Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                  can't quite decide what "part played to death" means unless you mean part of the work is played to death - is "death" a clue ?
                  spent an hour looking for the serenade without luck
                  "calm sea and prosperous voyage" ???

                    spent an hour looking for the serenade without luck - google refers to Stokowski giving a complete performance of one in 1955 but that wouldn't be "over 200 years"
                    "calm sea and prosperous voyage" ???
                    Sorry to send you round in circles which I Constantly do. The serenade is dramatic, but the death reference was simply to how often part of that work is aired (and not just on CFM, although luckily not too often on R3 as far as I am aware).
                    Not the Mendelssohn or Beethoven. A "calm sea" cannot be guaranteed (this third one is not musical - that comes with setting clues after bed-time )

                        Well I think I've got the F and two of the elements, but only due to mercia's chipping and hard work.

                        Your "a-ha!!" suggests you are there, mercia. I don't want to bounce in and take it off you...

                              Well, alright... I think the F is Fortuna.

                              The serenade is Il sogno di Scipione, K. 126, which Mozart composed when he was 15 but was only performed it seems in 1979 in Salzburg - one of the lead roles is a character called Fortuna

                              The choral work is 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana

                              For the cruise, I can only think of 'Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage' can't find a Fortuna...
