Calibs is quite old enough to remember Arthur English as Mr Harman and Mrs Slocum en banter in Are You Being Served, I'm sure

Quite right

So I need a P.... Let's see...

[Nick Armstrong]

I always seem to get P... Piazzolla last time, Poulenc not long ago....

This P united Edward Elgar, Victor Herbert and Richard Strauss before a 16-year Death and Resurrection...

... and what's a macédoine got to do with anything??

Victor Herbert conducted from the outset in 1898. Elgar conducted the Enigma Variations at the conclusion of the 1907 season. Strauss was a guest conductor in the 1903-4 season. In 1910 the orchestra went bust. It took 16 years to resurrect it. Was that Quite what you wanted, sir?	That's Edward on the left
