      Come along now, this couldn't be easier, I'm sure we've had this before in fact.

      For starters, the most famous Scandinavian piano concerto is by .....?

      I'm sure that Calibs has the American bit

      I know he has the Ted Heath Orchestra

      Give me your May Day best!

              I was looking last night at:

              Whapsody on Blue
              Grieg Piano Concerto
              Ted Heath's Band

              but could find no connecting W...

              Are those the three elements then?

              Is it a person? Is it a plane? Is it a bird?

                      Winifred Atwell it is - she recorded Grieg piano concerto & Whapsody en bleu, the latter with Ted Heath orch I think - she certainly recorded/played with them

                          Shame on me, I didn't even know Winifred Atwell was a pianist - I only know of her from the exchange in Fawlty Towers, where Basil is trying unsuccessfully to get some sense out of the Major:

                          B - You remember I gave you some money just before you went to that remembrance service?
                          M -Remembrance service?
                          B - Yes.
                          M - I don't remember that, old boy.
                          B - It was for a chap you didn't like. You know, he was... one of those?
                          M - One of those what?
                          B - Well...
                          M - Pansy?
                          B - Yes.
                          M - (Looking round) Which one?
                          B - No, no, no, no. You were in your best suit.
                          M - Was I? Oh, yes, of course! I went to the theatre, of course!
                          B - No, no...
                          M - Yes, yes, with Winnie Atwell, yes.
                          B - (Startled) Winnie Atwell?
                          M - Well, Marjorie Atwell then, Marjorie. I always call her Winnie because... well, because she looks like Winnie.
                          B - She's not black.
                          M - Black? Churchill wasn't black.

                                Agreed! But that clip not entirely fanciful, even now it seems:
                                The passage of time has clearly done little to quell the eccentric astronomer’s deep-seated feelings towards Germans, as he declared in an interview: 'The only good Kraut is a dead Kraut.'
