        No no... mercia's right... That's why you got 2 gold stars for

        Walter Damrosh: conducted the première of "American in Paris"
        Bruno Walter: conducted the première of Pfizner's "Palestrina"


        And mercia gets the last for Walter Weller conducting the première of Beethoven's 10th


        X marks the spot. Flay? mercia? Anna?
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Your #27694 was a bit of a tease, I thought it was only the Walter that was correct. Sulk sulk chiz chiz....
          Pacta sunt servanda !!!

            Huh?

            I responded to your accurate answer of one element by saying "You are making very good progress!" and highlighting the "Walter". What's teasing about that? If you want a tease, shut your eyes and pass me that feather duster...


            EDIT: oh I see, you thought Damrosch was nothing to do with the answer?... Oh well! 'Tis only a game!

            (Flay: *mutter mutter* it's not life or death, it's much more important than that....)

            Flay us alive with an impossible X/Y/Z/A... (I'll be out. I have an ENORMOUS dinner tonight!! )

                    What? An ENORMOUS dinner on a school night? Where, and with whom? And, we still haven't heard Flay's account of George V's delights ......

                        Well, I can do a rather simple (that's me all over) X which will take nanoseconds to solve, as I only have about an hour, max, before I need to go but as I really didn't solve Visions it's not technically my turn.

                          You didn't like my tantalising Slaughter then!

                          There was another W recorded Beethoven 10 by the way Ok I know it wasn't a Walt but it Disney matter!

                            Yours was the major contribution to the solution.

                              You DID solve it, you got Massenet.

                              And you're not simple.

                              Just engagingly open

                                Well, I still think my Massenet opera Herodiade counted because the famous aria from Act III is Vision Fugitive .........
