Which composers of any period would you invite to dinner and why?
......and your other 3 M'Lud? - I could offer my services to regale DSCH with tales of Harlepool United......
Pray see my #42

However I'd feel more at home talking Wolves with Elgar than Zenit St Petersburg with Shostakovich.

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.
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....

Quoi? We're all going to have to be dead by 2125? Mon Dieu! - is the future of healthcare to be so dismal and the example set by Elliott Carter so widely ignored?...

No, indeed not; in fact, one can almost assume that they will not be as they are now (starting with the newly independent Scotland, for which we will probably not have to wait until 2125)...

Chabrier but no Ravel?? Tiens, tiens...
