someone who finished something that Roger started - Roger started something in 1969 which someone called Ivan finished in 1989. More accurately, Ivan was in at the finish, and it (the something) was named after a county to the East of London

are we still in the world of pianists ?

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

Essex ? Suffolk ?

[amateur51]

Oh I thought we'd finished and the answer was Ivan... no?

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! )
