Don't tell me you pronounce the "ch" in Bach like a "k"!

Just a play on words, Enrique! Un juego de palabras.

Always interesting to know how other nationalities pronounce the names of famous composers. Anglo-Saxons pronounce Beethoven like "Bay-toe-ven". Germans pronounce it like "Beh-toe-fen", which is, I suppose, the "correct" way. As for Bach, I pronounce it like "bark"; my German wife (therefore not to be contradicted!) pronounces it like "Barch", though I can't render phonetically the "ch" sound.
When I want to annoy my wife I ask her to pronounce the composer Vaughan William's name, never fails!

I also often ask my German wife who won World War 2 in an attempt to annoy her further. She always replies: "the Soviets and the Americans".

The ch in Bach is a sound that doesn't exist in English. It is Spanish j. It's very amusing how Englishmen and Americans pronounce the name of Bach.

Sounds like the woof of a dog that accidentally swallowed starch?

She did? We are all very grateful to her; sterling work, Ma'am! (only joking, Q)...

I agree. It's the same with Van Gogh of course.
