Originally posted by hedgehog View PostI have the other two: Hans Richter was the conductor for the premiere of Gerontius and Prokoviev - a cellist duo, one for the concerto part and one for the symphony
Sviatislov Richter conducted the premiere of Prokoviev's (ahem, a bit sly here mercia) Symphony-Concerto/Sinfonia Concertante for cello & orchestra.
Rostropovich being the soloist.
very well hedged (and hogged) - 3 X Richter - F.T., Hans & Sviatoslav

I have time
With S on the menu:
A Russian at the table and cheese before dessert, a piano that inspires one to dance - or a ballet!Last edited by Guest; 29-03-13, 21:41.Comment

Just dropped on to see if there was a puzzle to ponder only to find R set and done. I shall consider hedgehog's speedy S later.Comment

apparently there's a type of creme fraiche called Smetana - thought you'd like to know that
"Russian at the table" has taken me to Dmitri Mendeleev and his periodic table and thence to Borodin the chemist - but probably a different kind of table is required
don't know if there's a technical word for eating cheese before your pud - probably "impatient"
lots of dances written for piano, lots and lots of ballets
sudden thought, there are "tableaux" in Stravinsky ballets aren't there ? but a tableau ain't a table
- random thoughts when I should be asleep

The cheese in question is a mountain cheese, but this is just qualifying the S. As is Russian (Russe)

am I being hinted that the S word is service, as in service a la russe, where the cheese comes after the ice cream according to wikipedia [in a 14-course meal that is]

No. I'd forget the cheese, it's a bit of a red herring (Originally posted by mercia View Post), although part of the the title of the piece that comes before dessert. The S that is Russian is the first mvt/course!
