IGI, I immediately thought of Panic, Panique, Panik.... but didn't get much further than connecting two composers.......  |

I keep on thinking about country matters - peasants, pastoral? The pastoral symphony from Handel's Messiah?

I really must get out of my pyjamas and get outside, even though it's raining! The best part of a week has elapsed since we first read these words, and yet they still worry us strangely . . . |

Good thinking, Tony, but nothing pastoral in this case. I reckon the extra composer here could well give the game away to leave me defeated. Beethoven Ibert Henze Suppé Birtwistle Handel Lord Berners |

 A complete triumph, martle!! I had a feeling the Berners wasn't a good move! Have you seen the Henze? There's a superb DVD which had me completely spellbound. Apologies for the delay...very late evening marking/assessing in a very cold classroom...  |

No, IGI. Details? I have a classic love/hate relationship with HWH's music, but am always ready to give him a go. (Remember having a VERY long love affair with 'Voices' (1973) - one of the best song cycles of the C20th in my view.) |

Symphonies 3, 4 and 6 are particularly good I think. I found L'Upupa musically disappointing after some of his other operas, particularly Elegy for Young Lovers.

Absolutely agree IGI, the L'Upupa dvd had me transfixed from start to end, well worth renting out. |
