        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      There are a number of variables
                      1 Bernstein as composer and/or conductor.
                      2 A performance by Lotte
                      3 An Olivier award for something linking 1 and 2.
                      But it's all very vague

                        It's actually quite precise when you know the answer!

                        But to reply:

                        1. Bernstein as conductor
                        2. Lotte as teacher
                        3. Olivier as actor/manager

                          A bit like the location of Radnor innit ....... which is in The Marches, not West of it!

                              What makes you think I know the answer? I have company, I just looked in before switching off, I really don't have time to post or think of a new puzzle, really sorry, I'll see you in the morning.
