To recap:

Takemitsu
Britten – Albert Herring
Schubert – Die Forelle
Bernstein - A Quiet Plaice (hyukhyukhyuk)

I am stumped on the Takemitsu, though.

Indeed Tommo!

Please note, I came up with this one after Richard’s post about ‘Trout Mask Replica’ last night, but before this amusing thread (now pulled, of course) appeared at the other place: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio3/F6643900?thread=3915361 Even the title's been swiped...it was something like 'Fishy Friday'.

I resisted thoughts of including ‘Eel’ Trovatore(!), O Sole mio, or recordings by Julian Bream, Marcus Haddock, Albert Sa(l)mmons or the Scampi (sic) Quartet!!  Roll Eyes

Yay! Well earned, tonybob, and to roslynmuse, too, who got the Schubert and Britten.

Takemitsu – Cape Cod (Towards the Sea III)
Schubert – Die Forelle (The Trout)
Britten – Albert Herring
Bernstein – A Quiet Place (plaice!)

I'll pop back with another one later...

Sorry, I disappeared straight away for Chinese take away - raining so it was my turn to go  Roll Eyes


The connection is not Shakespearean.

John, could the link be jewels of one type or another?

Auber – Les diamants de la couronne
Bizet – Pearl Fishers
Gounod – Jewel song from ‘Faust’
Verdi – Eboli steals Elisabetta’s jewellery box in ‘Don Carlos’

or is there a link between characters in operas? I take it that they're all related to stage works?

Much like my last connection, this one is a 'musical instrument' connection ..............

Ah, did they all create musical instruments/ write for unusual instruments?

Verdi - the 'Verdi drum' used in the Dies Irae
Wagner - the 'Wagner tuba'
Berlioz wrote a part for 'serpent' into the Symphonie fantastique
