      are we still in the world of pianists ?

      every time I google Ivan and Roger it's all stuff about tennis

      Essex ? Suffolk ?

        Mind you, been a bit busy having a pillow fight in the dorm with vinmousseux
        The answer is Ivan but there's one more element to get, Caliban.

                          The K in question is the wonderful Josef Krips

                          He was principal conductor of the four orchestras in the first line of the puzzle (the Vienna Symphony being the relevant Viennese one I think - though he also conducted the VPO).

                          It was his brother Henry, not Josef, who held the same post with the Adelaide SO (I had no idea! )

                            Curse you to blazes Flay, you disappear for ages and then pop up with a casual solution while I'm labouring to prepare a careful bowl of coleslaw



                            Mrs Flay has allowed you out from under her thumb, then?
