page Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) The sound sample on this page comes close. I think it has too much an oh sound. This site has a fairly good speech of "Boeren".http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php?sitepal Typ in the word, choose Dutch and then for voice Xander. He has the most accurate. (not Laura, that is completely wrong speech) Edited November 19, 2013 by page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard it said Kwih-bek. I've heard it as "KYOO-bek", and although I don't have it at hand right now I believe this is what the Penguin Guide states as well.

I've always heard it said Kwih-bek. What clinches it is that on a CBC Radio Canada feature on (Ike) Quebec I once heard on the radio, that was the way they pronounced it !

GA Russell Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 There was an article in this morning's paper about Joan Miro, and it reminded me that I have no idea how to pronounce his first name. Anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Listened to a Spanish documentary on him on youtube they pronounced it with a soft G and it rhymed like the more familiar Juan. Although to be sure it would take something in catalan. Edited October 27, 2014 by Van Basten II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mracz Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 How do you pronounce the last name of the English violinist and conductor Hugo Rignold? Is it "Rye-Nold?" Rig-Nold: just the way it looks. (I lived in Birmingham for many years, and he conducted the CBSO for a time, so his name came up occasionally with musicians who had worked with him and it was always pronounced like that).

jazztrain Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for the answer. Now I know for the next time it comes up. I may have said it wrong at the time, but, if so, no one apparently noticed. How do you pronounce the last name of the English violinist and conductor Hugo Rignold? Is it "Rye-Nold?"

peterintoronto Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Found out that Stephan Crump's name is pronounced 'Stuh-fawn' when I introduced myself at his show with Mary Halvorson the other night with a 'Hi Stephan!(Steven)" I was promptly corrected.
