Ervin Nyiregyházi and Vladimir Sofronitisky...
The two greatest pianists i ever listened to....One Listz absolute master the other one Scriabin absolute master
Who's an artist that you're a fan of but whose name you're not sure how to pronounce?
I remember when Sufjan Stevens was starting out I heard several pronunciations of his name and almost every article about him tried to clarify it, but it wasn't until I saw him and he said "Hi, I'm Sufjan Stevens" that I was sure how to pronounce it.
Bon Iver, Rae Sremmurd, Sigur Ros, and the Notwist have been other artists over the years who I haven't been sure how to pronounce.
Who are some artists whose names you haven't been sure how to pronounce?

I was once told by a guy who supposedly knew Hungarian that "Nyiregyhazi" was pronounced near-uh-JAHZ-ee. BTW, I prize myself for being able to properly pronounce most of the world's languages I come across. But I was pretty much a failure when I traveled to Hungary. And yeah, I have Ervin's double LP of Liszt-ian meanderings. |
@dekay Nice, you win. The artist formerly known as Prince, The Purple One, The Artist. Or none of the above.
