Except that, on the "Young People's Concert" on which she actually appeared
with Bernstein to sing that movement (and other Mahler songs), he pronounced
her name as "Ree-ree."
From a 2003 interview with Ms Grist (http://www.usoperaweb.com/2003/spring/grist.htm):
"I was named after a character in a film called Tabu, which I finally
saw eight or nine years ago when my husband discovered it on
television in Berlin. I think my mother expected me to look and be
like this character, who was very shy, but pretty and young and alive.
I'm grateful for having had this name. It is unique and I've not heard
it again. I've tried to find out the meaning of the name but have not
been able to do so. I don't even really know how to pronounce it."
So I think the jokester gets a pass.
Oh, and "Graham" is in my killfile
TMI, I think.
