Rachmaninov's 'Isle of the Dead' would fit too....but it's not islands.  Wink

I'll add a sixth composer:

Bartók
Britten
Rachmaninov
Tippett
Korngold
Borodin

Borodin, eh? DAMN!!

Thought I might be getting somewehere with youthful symphonic works:

Bartok Eb symph c1902 (c21)
Britten Sinonietta 1932 (c19)
Korngold Sinfonietta (1913) (c16)
Rachmaninov D minor symph 1887 (c15)


Now, Tippett. Yep, unpubl. symph of 1933 when he was ...let's see...28Huh Oh well. Sad

THINKS: did KEITH Tippett perhaps write a symph aged about 18 months???

But Borodin seems to have checked in with a proper 1st symph aged 29-34. Previously too busy swatting his chemistry I suppose...

Not symphonies or death, I'm afraid.

This sort of leapt out at me for half of them!

Britten - Prince of the Pagodas
Tippett - Suite for the Birthday of Prince Charles
Korngold - The Prince and the Pauper
Rachmaninov - Prince Rostislav
Bartok - The Wooden Prince
Borodin - Prince Igor

Do I get a Roger Wright T-shirt Mark?

Well done, martle!

Sometimes, you just see it straight away...I thought Borodin would be the giveaway.

I'm thinking the link is Shakespeare Sonnets for Glinka, Britten and Rautavaara but other than possibly the Tempest I am struggling with a Sibelius sonnet connection

Interesting. I hadn't known of Rautavaara setting Shakespeare...so the Bard's not the connection, I'm afraid.  Sad
