As we are allowed to use Tardis technology for our guest list, please may I project to the year 2125 (when we can safely assume all living composers to be, well, decomposed) and pick one from each of the four corners of the globe? I'd quite like to include a British one...but then we can't assume political entities will be as they are now.
I'll pop back and report on the shape of things to come.

Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... to obviate any language problems, I think :
Berlioz, Chabrier, Debussy, Saint-Saëns.
Tho' it wd be nice to have another evening, with Rossini in charge of the food and wine, plus Scarlatti and Haydn: Telemann can provide interval musicking...."...the isle is full of noises,
