    Sorry, just saw this. Yes that's the three.

      Clue 2: it's the name of a person.
      Vikar?

        I was ruminating on Vladimir (either Horowitz or Ashkenazy) who played two of the three, but can't get the Peacock in as well!

        Of course Ashkenazy conducts as well, but I couldn't seem to find a reference to him conducting the Kodaly?

            My second offering might also be Vasary: studied at the Liszt Academy, taught by Dohnanyi, served as assistant to Kodaly.

                      I hope this is a bit easier:

                      What W links an English seaside resort, a European capital, and the Heart of Dixie?

                        PS: Hercule, was yours a guess or had you got the three links scb set out?

                            Well, the Heart of Dixie is Alabama, and by chance I know a little about it. But nothing that I know about it starts with W!

                            And having now googled it, nothing that Wiki knows about it starts with W either!

                              Welcome to the cul-de-sac!
                              Other trails that have gone cold covered (a) Alabama Song/Whisky/Jim Morrison/Doors (b) Montgomery (the state capital) (c) Yellowhammer (the state bird) and (d) Camellia (the state flower).
                              'La Dame aux Camellias' might take us to Paris, and Jim Morrison could lead us to Morrisons, who probably have branches in several English seaside resorts.

                                I can tell you're all missing my nice easy Hungarian "V" question... !

                                I haven't the foggiest about this one. Presumably the "W" is musical? A thing, a piece, a person???
