You are a marvel Anton.

Bearing in mind that some of mine are not recorded I'll choose

Wagner Das liebesverbot
Bush Yorick
Ireland Satyricon. And who is Biggin ?? Thanks a lot Anton,

Tony Biggin - http://tonybiggin.com/Tony_Biggin/Welcome.html. Thank Eine.

If I have to choose just three, I will pick two from other people and one from me. I will put forward the Biggin - a new work! - and also the Lilburn from others - there were many that I could have chosen - and the Chabrier from me (although Villa-Lobos would also be welcome). On the Chabrier, Beecham might have been a "character" but whatever he was involved in naturally appeals.

[EdgeleyRob]

Thanks Anton.

Alwyn - Derby Day.
Arnold- A Sussex Overture.
RVW - The Poisoned Kiss. (As much as I love The Wasps this would be a nice change,great tunes).

[antongould]

Following the Lat. "rule"

Bush : The Rehearsal
Pitfield : Overture on Northern Tunes
Bax : Rogues Comedy

Thanks re Biggin Lat. And you are right about Beecham. Once I know one of his recordings of a work nothing else will do. Schubert sym 5, Chabrier overtures, lots of things. Sorry off topic

Good work Anton I'll go for Tam O Shanter, Semiramide, Merry Wives

However statistically speaking getting a top ten from choosing 3 is not sound - that is my only dislike of polls generally. If you want a top 10 you should really be asking for everybodys top 10.

[antongould]

Of course the man is right as not many people have voted yet ........................can we go for your Top (however many you want up to) Ten.

I expect your other seven first cloughie!

[aeolium]

.......and keeping the same rules about not having more than one work by any composer. anton, you're a glutton for punishment

My ten:

Boyce: Overture to St Cecilia's Day
Rameau: Les Indes Galantes
Beethoven: Die Weihe des Hauses
Schubert: Des Teufels Lustschloss
Weber: Oberon
Rossini: Semiramide
Mendelssohn: Die Schöne Melusine
Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini
Dvorak: In Nature's Realm
Nielsen: Maskarade

[antongould]

My own and then I really must leave here - Lady Gould's breakfast tray was 13 minutes late this morning - unlucky for me!

Alwyn:Derby Day
Bax:Rogues Comedy
Berlioz :Roman Carnival
Bush:The Rehearsal
Elgar:Cockaigne
Ireland:Satyricon
MCCunn :The Land of the Mountain and the Flood
Moeran:To a Masque
Pitfield : Overture on Northern Tunes
Rossini :The Thieving Magpie

[cloughie]

In alphabetical rather than any other order - I think you could get into serious problems if you start ranking in order of preference.

Arnold:Tam O'Shanter
Berlioz :Les Franc Judges
Borodin :Prince Igor
Elgar:In the South
Glinka :Russlan and Ludmilla
Mendelssohn :A Midsummer Night's Dream
Nicolai :Merry Wives of Windsor
Rossini :Semiramide
Smetana:Bartered Bride
Tchaikovsky:Hamlet

Enjoy your task - are you putting a time limit on it?

[antongould]

The owner of the thread, and of course Lord Cloughie, decide the rules...................................

The owner of the thread, and of course Lord Cloughie, decide the rules...................................

If I'm one of the owners of the thread,count me out,Anton. It started with six, went to three and is now ten.

Will a list ever reach Breakfast unless we stop posting and leave it to Anton next week.? I agree with Lady Gould, time for a nice lunch. Or in her case breakfast apparently.

bestio and out

[antongould]

You are the only owner and I live in earnest hope of your other 7 recorded or not..............
