So my scheme of making a link out of each composer's name doesn't seem to have been all that clear? Have a click on the names in my post above which contains the words 'red' and 'herring'. Personally I thought one of them was rather good...

 Very clever, Ollie...didn't think of clicking on the names! Is that the little trick you learnt yesterday? Well done. Like the Edward Elgar Publishing! |

I'm going to be a little bit naughty. Here are four composers plucked at random from my shelves. I'm sure someone here with the aid of Mr Google can find a persuasive connection!  J. S. Bach Pascal Dusapin Sergei Prokofiev Arnold Schoenberg Bach's the sticking point on most of the links I'd thought of, but how about a fiery connection, Ollie: J. S. Bach - O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der LiebeBWV 34 Pascal Dusapin – Uomo di fumo Sergei Prokofiev – The Fiery Angel Arnold Schoenberg – Verklärte Nacht was used for Antony Tudor’s ballet ‘Pillar of Fire’ |

This is looking Spanish to me. Back in a tick...
I'd agree, Ollie. Moszkowski – Spanish Dances Glinka – Jota aragonesa/ A Night in Madrid Busoni – Spanish Rhapsody Elgar – The Spanish Lady Miles Davis – Spanish Key Both Ollie and Il Grande Inquisitor are right in essence - I was thinking of Glinka Spanish Overture and Miles Daves Sketches of Spain. Also Capriccio Espagnole from Moskowski. |

Ian - the fire connection sounds great to me! Of course since I just plucked the names out of the air there aren't any right or wrong answers for once. On the other hand I can think of a more direct fiery connection for Schoenberg. I'm sure you can too at this time of exodus... |

Morricone
Dusapin
Busoni
Czernowin
Warning - multilingual and involves puns. In fact it's ridiculously obscure. In fact how about you just make up a connection and that'll be fine with me.

No. (this is a very difficult one - hint, in one case look for the extended title) |

The burning bush is in fact the first 'character' to sing in Moses und Aron - Moses is a Sprechstimme part. There's also a pillar of fire as you'd expect. And there's a fire involved in the Golden Calf episode.

Hello (and welcome) Doktor Faust - I wasn't thinking of an hourglass but in contrast to many other setters here I'm happy if someone just provides a feasible connection! If you can make hourglasses fit then the  is yours.  |

As I failed in my bid for the Solti, which recording would you recommend? I hear the Boulez DG recording is supposed to be very good. |
