AllenLowe Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 where I used to live in upstate New York they had a whole neighborhood with the streets named after famous composers - and it was always a kick to hear someone say they lived on "Ba-Thoven Street" - Quote

ghost of miles Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Buell Neidlinger? I'm inclined to say, BEW-el NEED-linger... would I be inclined wrong? Quote
king ubu Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Buell Neidlinger? I'm inclined to say, BEW-el NEED-linger... would I be inclined wrong? same here for the first name, but (of course due to the german-speaking background), I'm inclined to say Neidlinger with the first syllable as the "i" in "high". That would be the german spelling - the name does sound old-yurpeen anyway, but I really don't know. Or first name "bu-el" (Bu as in Blakey's nickname, without the "iuw"-twist that's in "bew"?) Quote
ghost of miles Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Two French ones--should know these, but can't pull them out of my work-fuddled brain right now: Barney Wilen Rene Urtreger Quote
paul secor Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) Buell Neidlinger? I'm inclined to say, BEW-el NEED-linger... would I be inclined wrong? Never met the man, but heard him play several times, and he was always announced as Nid - linger - long i. Of course, it's possible that the people who introduced him were wrong, and I've been pronouncing his name incorrectly for 40 years. edited - linder to linger - duh!

Spontooneous Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 First four letters of "Neidlinger" rhyme with "wide," I'm told by someone who says he's played with Buell. Quote
couw Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Two French ones--should know these, but can't pull them out of my work-fuddled brain right now: Barney Wilen Rene Urtreger Barney as in Barney, but with that special Inspecteur Clouseau accente. so that's not Bah'nee with two long 'merican syllables, but Bar'ny with two short french syllables. Wilen like Wee-Len, as in "wheel" but short. I have also heard Will-en with "will" as in "willing" and "-en" as in "spoken". The former would be correct though. René as Ruh-Nay with a short stressless first syllable "Ruh", as in "Huh? WTF?!", rhymes with "the". Urtreger starts off with that french "u", equals the german "ü"; there is no equivalent sound in English I believe. The second syllable is stressless, "truh" (Huh? see above), the "g" as "zh", like the second "g" in "garage" or the "s" in "pleasure"; the "-er" ending as "-ay", rhymes with stay. So you end up with Ür-truh-zhay Quote

(BB) Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Hot Ptah I got the Hot part. Is it "Puh" (rhymes with duh) "tah" (rhymes with ha)? Quote
Hot Ptah Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Hot Ptah I got the Hot part. Is it "Puh" (rhymes with duh) "tah" (rhymes with ha)? You'll need to email Phillip Roth. Quote
Fer Urbina Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Concierto de Aranjuez? cone sea air toe day ah ron chwez (ch as in 'loch' lomond and the accent on this syllable) Almost perfect. "deh" instead of "day", vowel should sound as in "set". "ran" instead of "ron", vowel should sound as in "map" (although with an American pronunciation you're probably right). In most of Spain we have a different sound for "ce" and "ci", as in "thorn", and the last syllable in "Aranjuez" should sound like "Beth", but most of the Spanish speaking world don't use that sound, anyway.

GA Russell Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Karrin Allyson I always figured the first name sounded just like Karen, with a weird spelling. But last night on Sirius, dj Les Davis pronounced it Kahr-in. I figure he ought to know. Anybody know for sure? Quote
(BB) Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Karrin = Car In that's easy, but what about Ptah... Quote
Hot Ptah Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Hot Ptah is the one legged catcher for the Port Rupert Mundys in the Patriot League during World War II, in Phillip Roth's "The Great American Novel." That is why I said that you would have to ask Phillip Roth. Quote

That is why I said that you would have to ask Phillip Roth. When you google Ptah, one of the first things that comes up is your explination of your name at another board. That almost makes you as famous as an Egyptian god. I finally found the following from a how to pronounce the gods website. Prthivi {prit'hi-vee}Hindu Psyche{sy'-kee} Greek Ptah{ptah}Egyptian Pygmalion{pig-mayl'-ee-uhn}Greek Pyramus and Thisbe {peer'-uh-muhs thiz'-bee} Other I guess that means you sound out every letter. Sorry, I can't help you Mr. Ghost. Quote
king ubu Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Gjon Mili--photographer for Granz's THE JAZZ SCENE and director of JAMMIN' THE BLUES? Seems Mili was an Albanian... not that this helps, but maybe someone can get any clue out of that? Maybe like "John"? (in Hungarian "György" - as Kurtag - the opening g is a voiced "J", too... and the "y" is fused with the "ö" which is spelled as a German "ö" - can't think of an english word using that "ö"-sound, though. Anyway, if that's similar the "Gj" would end up as just voiced "J" - not sure if this deduction is a tolerable one, of course...) Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I was wondering what is the correct pronunciation of Renee Rosnes. I found this on wikipedia: Her first name's pronunciation is a derivative of Irene ("ree-nee"), rather than the common pronunciation of Renee (i.e. not as "re-nay"). Quote
