You're so (un)helpful. I pay you a compliment and that's my reward. I mentioned Yale as you tend to have a penchant for academic institutions, but I can't find links to all three.Originally posted by antongould View PostComment

"Not gonna lie to you" (to quote Nessa from Gavin & Stacey): entirely based on a spot of googling, I think I have it.Originally posted by subcontrabass View Post
Princess Zinaida Volkonskaia (b. 1749), mezzo-soprano, composer and mate of Alexander I, emperor of Russia, Gogol, Pushkin, Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Donizetti, Glinka and Rossini, had a large collection of manuscripts now at Harvard.
Zinaida's collection includes
- her own opera Giovanna d'Arco (Joan of Arc)
- Rossini's Tancredi
- Sor's Ariettina
It's all here: http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hou00143
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

And more specifically she sang the title role in a performance of Tancredi (and had her portrait painted as that character), and was the dedicatee of Sor's Arrietina.Originally posted by Caliban View Post"Not gonna lie to you" (to quote Nessa from Gavin & Stacey): entirely based on a spot of googling, I think I have it.

This seems to have brought proceedings to a halt. People may be out for Saturday evening fun, so I'll leave till tomorrow before giving any clues... save that the first line above is an ever so slight clue in context.Originally posted by Caliban View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

Of course the arrival of the, bigger, clue will have to wait until Rumpole has had his Sunday kippers ....Originally posted by Caliban View PostComment
