    Likewise, I'm disappointed that you haven't got the D yet. A famous musical creator with whom I am sure Sir is familiar.
    Yes, Sir is, but would really like someone else to have a go at this one.

    Besides, I'm trying to watch the Mehta Das Rheingold on the big screen...

    EDIT: Ah, I see Vinteuil is on to it. Why not Du **** as a matter of interest?

        Oh are you being a spoilsport?

        Meantime, I'm not sure what Flay is up to!

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

          ... well, various spellings are recorded - du Phly, du Phlys, Duflicq, Duflix. Jacques du Phly [born in 1715, the year which saw the death of Louis XIV, died the day after the fall of the Bastille: 15 July 1789.] is your man.

          I like Mr d' Uphly's work a lot.

          Sadly - I'm not around to set an E


          Enyone evailable??

            <<Little of Marin Marais' personal life is known after he reached adulthood. He married a Parisian, Catherine d'Amicourt, on September 21, 1676. They had 19 children together....>>

            I'm not surprised. Obviously he was keeping his head down

                A shame you won't be around as you have thoroughly deserved an E...

                On the CD which rubbers very kindly gave me for my birthday last week he is spelt Duphly. The three elements - Les Graces, Médée and La Forqueray - are keyboard pieces on that CD I agree about his music

                Was your reticence amnesia or modesty, rubbers? Or a desire to focus on the diaphanous négligés of the Rhine maidens?

                  erm:
                  ... is that the one with Jean-Patrice Brosse? - or Yannick le Gaillard?? - or is there a new (better?) one out???

                    Modesty, entirely. It would have been grossly unfair to have taken advantage of something of which I had prior knowledge. The messageboard equivalent of Insider Trading. And after my previous conviction for the same after the unfortunate incident in the Tottenham Court Rd...

                    The set I'm after is Jean Paul's complete recording on 4 CDs, sadly out of print. I have Brosse in Bk1 and gave Caliban Elisabeth Joye doing an attractive compilation.

                    EDIT: By the way the Rhine maidens in this production wear tops made of clear plastic and squirt water from their nipples

                      ... of Duphly? Jean Paul - is this the same as Jean-Patrice Brosse?

                      I had the boxed set of LPs of his, with him looking sultry on the cover; I now have the 3 separate CDs (covering the complete works) on the Pierre Verany label, I think from amazon.fr

                      EDIT / ah, no - when you say Jean Paul you mean John Paul. Yes, a visit to amazon.fr for that one shows it out of stock...

                          How very principled. Yes it caused quite a ripple among the traders when you went down, I understand...

                          So who wants this 'ere E ?! One of you must be able to cobble something really gentle and easy for a Sunday evening, surely?

                          Flay are you still scandal-mongering about poor old M. Marais?
