Quiz 5 is now closed.

Thank you to those who entered. Not many entries.

Winner, again, is Il Grande Inquisitor.

Il Grande Inquisitor - 90%

Roslyn - 80%

Woodbine - 80%

and
Tommo - 60%

(to be fair, Tommo was coming back with 7-10 ......  Wink

The one that stumped everyone was the the American composer who snoozed with melodies in his head ..... Duke Ellington!

I have to say I am very moved hearing the voice of Jaqueline du Pre. In the clip she is la-la-la-ing through a section of the Elgar cello concerto, teaching the fingering to a student. The clip is from a film about her life.

Only Woodbine didn't get the hairy-chested Bermuda-shirted one!  Cheesy
Charles Hazlewood!!!!

Anyway, the answers were:

speaker 1.   Daniel Barenboim

speaker 2.   Mitsuko Uchida

speaker 3.   Joshua Bell

speaker 4.   Kiri te Kanawa

speaker 5.   Charles Hazlewood

speaker 6.   Jacqueline du Pre

speaker 7.   Duke Ellington

speaker 8.   James Galway

speaker 9.   Alfred Brendel

speaker 10.   Pierre Boulez

To be even fairer, Tommo had forgotten about 7 - 10 and wouldn't have got them anyway Sad

I'm not turning out very good at this game but it's still a fun little test.  Thanks John

P.S.  I changed the avatar - this one of course is slightly hairier, although to be fair there isn't a lot in it. Both exceedingly handsome of course.  Kiss

While rummaging through my hoard of 78rpm records, looking for 'unknown' artistes for the Shellac Shoppe thread, I am flicking past familiar names and some names that I know, but only know, on 78s and thought some of these might make good teasers on this thread.

One record in particular caught my eye when I saw the composer credit.

So a teaser, and for this one we're going back to 1926 when a British tenor recorded this song by a (by then deceased) British composer.....

British tenor, British composer

It's nearly 1meg so may load slow on first play.

It's the wind-up gramophone again, and this faint clip does not compare well with the glorious sound that emanates from the gramophone (I need a good microphone).

tonybob,

It's not Walter Widdop - he was on my list, quite a number of his records, Wagner in English  Shocked

John, I haven't really a clue, but is there a hint of a Scottish lilt to the Tenor?  I was reminded of Ian Wallace (but it's obviously not him).

As for the work?  erm, give us a clue!

The singer is not Scottish. Not English either  Smiley

The work does seem very obscure though I have Yahoo-ed and found that a recent recording is on a CD with many other contemporary British composers, and the sheet music is available from several sources. The title (a lady's name) is repeatedly sung, though you will need to get the spelling correct......

The name sounds like Leonore, and I wondered if it was John McCormack, but can't find any link between the two...
