And he is a composer who is from northern climes, presumably?

I'm pretty sure that there's a Nordic composer who wrote a piece called 'Sir Bradley and King Lear spend a night at the Moulin Rouge', but his name escapes me just now!Comment

No I think that's Mark Anthony Turnage isn't it?Originally posted by Pulcinella View Post

Klami - Une Nuit à Montmartre, The Cyclist (Rondo).
Lear - Is there a link to Sallinen or Shostakovich?Comment

......It's Symphony No.1 - the King Lear Ouverture.

Yep!Originally posted by Lat-Literal View Post
Uuno Klami is the K and he wrote that lot. (His Symphony No 1 was not part of the puzzle... wittingly, at least!
).
Needless to say I've never heard a note of his music!
There'LL be L to pay if you don't set us an L, Lat-Lit !

Surely some confusion?Originally posted by Lat-Literal View Post......It's Symphony No.1 - the King Lear Ouverture.
Good old Presto's site tells me that the recording of King Lear is coupled with Symphony 1, but I had to go to Wiki to find any mention of Une nuit, which seems to be the subtitle of his first piano concerto.
That doesn't diminish the congratulations.
Like Caliban, have never (knowingly) heard a note of his music; hadn't even heard of him!Comment

Thank you for all your good comments.
Kirkwall and various associations with Wagner were en route but luckily I didn't mention those.
I will try to think of an L question quite quickly.

A very easy one.
What L links Smyth, Hill and Leifs?
Here's a better one:
What other L connects (a) a composer of a grand tarantelle, (b) a bug's man and (c) LaMothe?
It isn't lepidoptera.
Whoever provides an answer to either of the above will be given the M question.Last edited by Lat-Literal; 09-04-16, 21:53.Comment

This was going to feature in my puzzle. A gift for future K-setters....Originally posted by Pulcinella View Post
I sense it would repay repeat listening. That piece ends really well, would be great live! Prom première for Mr Klami, anyone? (I see in the Archive that he has yet to feature)."...the isle is full of noises,
