Yes - Tchaikovsky's is incidental music, but contains some engaging music, especially the well known Dance of the Tumblers. That leaves Ives, which is a song containing a certain month...  Note that all the R-K works are of a certain genre. |

Ives may have composed a 'May' song (R-K = May Night).

He did...a bit of a connection to the Snow Maiden, really! Bax – Christmas Eve ( Christmas Eve) Ives - Night of Frost in May ( May Night) Nielsen - Maskarade - Dance of the Cockerels ( The Golden Cockerel) Tchaikovsky – Snow Maiden ( Snegurochka/ Snow Maiden) Saint-Saëns - Une flûte invisible ( Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh) Smetana – The Bartered Bride ( The Tsar’s Bride) Well persevered!  Do you know Rimsky's operas? I have all of these six. We had a good discussion on them here: http://www.for3.org/forums/showthread.php?t=64 as well as some that ended up on its Waffle Thread! |

Yes, I have the Gergiev R-K recordings! Re the Fabritiis MEFISTO: I'd also ordered a copy a few days ago, together with the Bartoletti GIOCONDA! Re Siepi's Mefisto: did he perform the whistles himself?  |

A lot of those Decca/ Phillips reissues are quite tempting.
Re Siepi, I don't know. I'd like to think he did!
I do wish Gergiev would record The Golden Cockerel, but I doubt he'd get Philips to commit to it financially.

Try connecting these four. The link is thematic rather than a common word from the titles.
Verdi
Mendelssohn
Donizetti
Honegger

No stakes, inquisitions or thumb-screws (other than from the quiz-master!!)
Verdi and Donizetti are operas, but the others are not.

There's nae Scottish link. There are actually two Verdi operas which would qualify. A fifth composer is Franz Schmidt.
