I think it's like "LAYV SHREYE-ber"
I think Liev rhymes with "gave"

ie is pronounced ee, v is pronounced as an f
ei is pronounced I
if it doesn't, then I have NO idea

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:59pmIMDB says it's pronounced "Lee-ev", but if you're speaking German it's pronounced Leaf, like Elphaba said. I'm sure it's because we Americanized it. His last name is swanky - it means "writer" in German.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 12:13pmYeah, I always thought it was Liev, like Kiev.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 12:42pmIt is Lee-ev...however, it's said fast that at times it sounds like Leev (as in Leave).
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."

Has anyone ever heard him say it himself?
I've always thought the name was Russian, so I've been pronouncing it "Lee-Ev," like Kiev. That's how it's pronounced in the media.

There was a feature on National Public Radio yesterday morning. I didn't hear the whole interview (as I was making breakfast) but it sounded like "Lee-ev."
