    What C links

    A poet who wrote deliberately blasphemous and provocative verse and who won an esteemed prize for his art form

    A string quartet that has celebrated (played and recorded) the work of a relatively neglected modern English composer

    Later: My apologies - I have to go out until about 15:00 I guess so in advance I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence

        Cheers Norfolk!

        Would it help if I mentioned that the prize was the Nobel Prize for Literature?

          "...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..."

                    Giosue Garducci won the Nobel Prize in 1906 - his most famous poem was Hymn to Satan - edgy! The Carducci Quartet are a young quartet - their website is awash with Twitter and Facebook! They have recorded Graham Whettam quartets not sure if this is who you are pointing at Am?

                      Correct in ALL matters anton, thanks very much!

                      My interest in Carducci has been piqued but on Amazon his translated verse comes at silly prices in off-the-peg publishers' lists. I must try Abe and other potential sources.

                      Does anyone know Carducci's work?

                      The quartet are a fine team & the Graham Whettam CD is worth getting to know

                      Over to you for a D, anton

                          Why might she do that, anton!??

                          Well done by the way, all done and dusted and no mistake!!

                          En passant, may I remind the company that the Cleese-Palin v Muggeridge-Mervyn Stockwood bout is going to start on BBC4 TV at half past

                          PS I've never even heard of Carducci
