Three Composers for Your Dinner

[vandermolen]

Those would be.
Pjotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Richard Arnell.
Johann Sebastian Bach.

Nice choices! An interesting combination.

[Brahmsian]

Those would be.
Pjotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Richard Arnell.
Johann Sebastian Bach.

Ah, pas de souper avec Suppè? 

I expected at least one Operetta composer at dinner. 

When I see the covers of these discs, I think of you Harry.

That would have been Franz von Suppe"as the Fourth composer. For I think "Die Schöne Galathee" is a  absolute masterwork. Andrea Bogner, is not to be beaten in her role. I have played this recording at least 25 times in one year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Christo of this forum has had dinner with Vasks

That WOULD be cool...

[Lisztianwagner]

Richard Wagner
Gustav Mahler
Arnold Schönberg

It would be amazing to hear them about their different points of view on music and art.

[DaveF]

Elena Firsova, obviously:



And certainly not inviting anyone else

[vers la flamme]

Carlo Gesualdo
Allan Pettersson
Malcolm Arnold

Just kidding    My real list would be something like this:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Arvo Pärt
Johannes Brahms

No clue how they'd all get along, but I would love to get to know each of them.

[Cato]

Easy!

Bruckner

Mahler

Schoenberg

[Judith]

For me it would be
Robert and Clara Schumann and Brahms would have to tag along because he was involved with them so there are my three.

[Crudblud]

It is said that one should never meet one's heroes, so I would opt for the following.

Shostakovich
Debussy
Vaughan Williams

A nice evening with interesting people whose music I don't enjoy.

[(poco) Sforzando]

Beethoven, Wagner, Schoenberg. Might as well assemble the three most disagreeable in one place.

[Le Buisson Ardent]

Three composers over dinner?

The three attendees would have to be the following:

Johannes Brahms
Franz Liszt
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Not only will you have many musical disagreements, but also three incredibly different musical perspectives. Also, the stories each of them could tell would be something else to witness for sure.

Why not, since Tchaikovsky considered Brahms a "giftless bastard." But what would be on the menu?

Hah...that's true. I'm not sure what would be on the menu. I would have to find out what each composer likes to eat.

[Symphonic Addict]

I haven't participated in here yet.

The three composers I'd invite:

Nielsen, Langgaard and Satie

Not sure how this would go, but I suspect the experience would be quite peculiar and unforgettable to say the least.

Oh, what an odd grouping. Nielsen would talk the most, Langgaard would be pissed because of it and Satie would just sit there in silence while enjoying his baked lemon chicken.

I'd actually love to talk to each of these composers, but not together!

As long as there were no broken dishes, disasters at home or fights, I would be happy. 

[Wanderer]

Nielsen, Langgaard 

OK, that's just being a bad host. 😁

(But wouldn't it be cool to welcome Nielsen, Langgaard already present, with this: https://youtu.be/ASBXuz1zvRg?si=ZYBk8Pr_1yjgMz2A ?) 😀

I think something different would happen: Satie would just begin playing the piano and when Nielsen and Langgaard would stop quarreling and get near him, he'd interject: Don't listen, talk!

If I could make them be friends, I would be the best host!

Surely Nielsen with his sense of humour would have appreciated the Langgaard's gift.
