A revolutionary composer?

Of course, I am the dashing young Sir Arthur Bliss.

I heard him conduct Morning Heroes at the Proms.

This thread (which is most amusing indeed so don't get me wrong !)
is on the "Talking about music" board
to what extent is this subject "about music" ?

After some thought, I deliberately started this on the Talking About Music board, because it related to composer lookalikes rather than anybody lookalikes, which would then have rendered it appropriate for Platform 3!

Everyone's entitled to a coffee break

Try this one for size. Ooooh Matron, I need some ointment on me Lyric Symphony.... Charles Zemlinsky and Alexander von Hawtrey, separated at birth...

Is the one on the left Prokofiev? If so, there is a double-hit here as he and Uncle Joe died on the same day.

Great thread, this.

Don't think Prokofiev ever had a thatch to match Bliss or Uncle Joe. His alopecia kicked in from the onset of puberty; poor love.
