While the thread is discussing pronunciations, there are a few I'd like
tidied up:
1. Tveitt.
2. Tuur (both u's have Umlauts).
3. Although I always pronounce Bernstein to rhyme with line, as I think
it should be, I've heard it pronounced to rhyme with lean. Does anyone
know for sure how Lenny himself said his name, please?
4. Roberto Gerhard, I believe, eventually pronounced his name as
JAIR'-UHD. Confirmation?
5. I've never heard any of his music, but is Ferneyhough one of those
strange English names which sounds nothing like it looks? Ferneyhough,
pronounced Smith, perhaps?
