And what would you ask him or her?    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 1:33 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Jerry Fielding. I would ask him, "What was the conversation you had with Sam Peckinpah that led to you throwing the folding metal chair at him?"    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 2:23 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up?    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 2:32 PM     By:   craig2   (Member) TIOMKIN!! Now tea with him would be a blast!!!    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 6:26 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Donna. I think about that small cafe. That's where we used to meet each day, and there we used to sit a while, and drink our afternoon tea.    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 8:55 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up? I would want to be in on that conversation as well. Antonin Dvorak - I'd like to experience how jovial and good-natured, that by all accounts, he was. Bernard Herrmann - Ought to be one hell of an afternoon tea.    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 10:21 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up? I would want to be in on that conversation as well. Consider yourself invited, but I hope you like cheese scones - and there'll be no Earl Grey on my fantasy tea table.    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 10:34 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up?

There could be Chee-tos and a big jug of Pepsi on the table for all I care. Anything to hear what DSCH has to say. (Uh, he did speak English, didn't he?)    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 11:10 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up?

There could be Chee-tos and a big jug of Pepsi on the table for all I care. Anything to hear what DSCH has to say. (Uh, he did speak English, didn't he?) I thought you spoke Russian. Ok, a universal translator would have to be part of the deal. We could invite Elgar to make up a four, but only if he spills the beans about the enigma behind his variations.    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 11:21 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) Tea?! Okay, on second thought, I won't slight the tea crowd, but I wouldn't mind sipping some tequila with Elmer Bernstein.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 12:44 AM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) We could invite Elgar to make up a four, but only if he spills the beans about the enigma behind his variations. Or if he approves of his 3rd symphony being realized!    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 1:43 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) John Williams. I would ask him loads of details about his personal life and early work. It would be a pretty one-sided conversation. If I were to 'just hang out', I'd probably choose Elfman instead. From what I've seen in interviews, we seem to have a similar worldview, humour and general outlook on things.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 2:22 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) If you could sit and chat for several hours with any one composer, living or dead, from Mozart to Williams, who would you choose? And what would you ask him or her? Would greatly depend on my current mood and interests, but if I were to pick one right now, it would be Johann Sebastian Bach.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 6:02 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Would greatly depend on my current mood and interests, but if I were to pick one right now, it would be Johann Sebastian Bach. Good choice - and no language problem. But didn't he have 20 children? I think if he found himself somehow miraculously resurrected he'd have other priorities than having tea with a film score fan!    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 6:53 AM     By:   Nicolai P.

Call it wishsful thinking then. :-)    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 8:22 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Would greatly depend on my current mood and interests, but if I were to pick one right now, it would be Johann Sebastian Bach.

Call it wishsful thinking then. :-) No, you're quite right. For pity's sake, I wanted a Russian guy to come back to life after over 40 years and somehow to have learned English since his death.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 8:52 AM     By:   craig2   (Member) Dmitri Shostakovich: How much of "Testimony" is genuine and how much did Volkov make up?

Bernard Herrmann - Ought to be one hell of an afternoon tea. If you have tea with Herrmann don't mention Hitchcock or at least your tea will stay hot if he storms out early??    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 9:24 AM     By:   Nicolai P.

On the other hand, if Dmitri went through all that painstaking trouble it probably takes to come back from the dead for a cup of tea, you could facilitate him by learning Russian beforehand. ;-)    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 1:03 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) On the other hand, if Dmitri went through all that painstaking trouble it probably takes to come back from the dead for a cup of tea, you could facilitate him by learning Russian beforehand. ;-) I suppose so. Or I could just point to my copy of Testimony, then at him and raise my eyebrows. I'm sure he'd understand that.     General Discussion: Afternoon tea with....?    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
