              That's the chap, Norths

              John O'Conor, studied with Dieter Weber (mercs), recorded works of John Field, father of the nocturne, and was a student of and continues the teaching legacy of Wilhelm Kempff who transcribed and record works by JS Bach.

              Wonderful set of of Beethoven piano sonatas too

              Over to you Norths for a quick P

                      I don't see any commonly-named P works with these three, though I notice that Adam and Delibes both have Corsaire ballets so we could be talking about pirates if I can find one in Messager

                      apart from that I might need a clue

                        There was presumably a full house on each occasion. and nobody started a riot.

                          Messager wrote musical comedies for Sacha Guitry and Yvonne Printemps
                          Delibes wrote Au Printemps for 3 voices

                          and Adam ................ is this Adolphe Adam ... ?

                              sorry, I'm getting nowhere

                              the only Alphonse Adam I can find is a twentieth century prince
                              I can't connect printemps to Adam and printemps may not even be the word

                              but I am going now, shall see you anon ................

                                ... so non to Adolphe Adam (the composer of Giselle), then?
