Peter J. King

Unknown in my case, I'm ashamed to say.

Thanks - I'll look for a sample.

Or from the 1970s with Alfred Deller?

There was one from the 1950s with Peter Pears - could that have been it?

Yes, harpsichord every time for me - except for Horowitz.

So you're happy to enable users to post surreptitiously (why?), but not to do something centrally useful, like edit their own posts and comments?

The only pianist whom I've enjoyed playing Scarlatti.

C.C.F. - Boston.

But some samples would sell it in a way that the cover, blurb, and bios won't.

It's a peculiar claim, though. First, what exactly counts as life is far from settled, with much debate. Secondly, something either meets a criterion or it doesn't. Perhaps they mean that some scientists would say that it was alive and some wouldn't?

Thank you!

Yes, I tried a couple like that, but I'm not sure what I've done with them.

Is that a typo at the beginning of the penultimate line ("it's" for "its")?

The Hall Writers' Forum published a little booklet of than-bauk a few years ago; here are four of mine.

Post you from a different era.

(R,A,F, Benson 1972(?); I'm second from the left on the back row.)

My father had a copy of that, but I don't know what happened to it. I seem to remember having a recording with David Oistrakh, but the only ones I can find mentioned on line pair him with Rostropovich, which doesn't ring a bell. I'll have to go and search through my LPs...

The notion of a weekend, though, lies in 19th century England, & is historically traceable and explainable.

The problem with explanations of these (usually very old) superstitions is that they often have the strong smell of flailing for a correlation (Tuesday was the day that Constantinople fell; OK, but why choose that event, and why blame the day?)

I don't know that one - I'll have to look for it.

I get a blank page.

His recording of the Brahms double concerto with Stern and the N.Y. Phil. under Walter has long been one of my favourite recordings, though I also have and enjoy the recording of the same pair with the Philadelphia under Ormandy.

I hope that I'm not...

First, by "the news" I clearly didn't mean this article. Secondly, if all you can say is "it's tosh", why bother?

I'm afraid that that looks like Honey fungus.... Edible, but dangerous to trees and shrubs.

Always good to meet someone prepared to discuss matters rationally, not just shout their views at you and run away.
