Talk:Stephen Hough

Australian citizenship
I have heard from credible sources that he became an Australian citizen within the last couple of years. There is nothing I can find in the public domain that supports this, however. Does anybody have any information about this? JackofOz 23:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hough took Austalian citizenship, but also remains a British citizen. He commented about this in his blog, and I will try to find that entry.  Since he resides in Britain and New York City, I have removed the category British emigrants to Australia.THD3 (talk) 21:07, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, THD3. I answered my own question years ago, and should have come back here and stopped this question from just hanging. I did refer to it in "British immigrants to Australia - category" below, which you've now answered here.  I'll make a cross-reference.  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  21:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Gay citation needed
He's in the list of gay musicians. I'm in no position to know whether this is true or not, but can we have a citation, please? JackofOz 05:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC) In the same Desert Island Disks mentioned below, his homosexuality is discussed at length.Sebmelmoth (talk) 16:05, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

How? Huff? Hyou?
I logged on to see how his name is pronounced but am no wiser. Is there a template to request IPA? Sparafucil (talk) 02:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * it's pronounced "Huff" - rhymes with "rough" - but i have no ability with IPA. J. Van Meter (talk) 13:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that: the Gramophone magazine has interviewed Hough for their accompanying CD series, and the interviewer - I believe it was the critic Rob Cowan - pronounced the pianist's name as rhyming with "cough". MUSIKVEREIN (talk) 17:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I've just heard him on Desert Island Discs, with Sue Lawley, who pronounced his name Huff. If he had been Scottish, it might have rhymed with "cough". Sebmelmoth (talk) 10:58, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

British immigrants to Australia - category
He’s definitely an Australian citizen. But “immigrant to Australia”? I sort of doubt that. That suggests his principal place of residence is here, but apart from his many concert visits I’ve never seen any evidence he’s ever lived here for any significant time.

Here’s a piece, described on his blog as “Stephen interviewed in his garden in the Guardian”. It doesn’t say where his garden is, but there’s no mention of Australia, and I can’t imagine a journo from the Guardian travelling to Australia to interview him about forthcoming Proms concerts.

Here he’s described as “of New York, United States”. -- JackofOz (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Answered, see THD3's post @ "Australian citizenship" above. --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  21:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
