Prokofiev is not the 4th swan.
Your 3 Winters are correct.
There is no 'detectives' group as such, and Ellis and Pheloung are not in the same group.
There is no 'phantasy' group.
What TV series comes chronologically between 'Endeavour' and 'Lewis'?

Is Prokofiev the fourth winter?

For some reason which I can't fathom, Rossini is associated with the "Swan of Pesaro".

You're getting nearer to the solution.
The 4th swan is not happy with what's being done to it.
Prokofiev is not in the 'winter group'
Britten is not in the 'radio themes' group.
Another clue: INSPECTOR Morse....

Hmm. Four rebuilt opera houses. Four operatic works first staged at the New York Met. ???

There are also four Lancastrians: Alan Rawsthorne, Eva Turner, John Tomlinson, and Amanda Roocroft.
