Now for a B ...

At one time or another, Yehudi Menuhin, Thomas Beecham, and Michael Tippett were all much involved with this sixty-three year old...

That'll be as Directors of the Bath International Music Festival: Beecham 1955; Menuhin 1958-1968; and Tippett 1969-1974. The Festival was set up in 1948 and is thus a 63 year-old

... bounced back so swiftly!

Yes indeedy - the Bath fest. I grew up near Bath and we went quite often. I think we thunk the Glock years were pretty good too...

So, amsman - let us C what you can do...

Gladly, vints ....

What C connects ,Fucík, King and Rosas, amongst others

Looks like you've arrived. Well done! I thought Anton might have rushed in with the pop groups!

Over to you now.

Sorry I'm a bit Calibanesque at the moment - can't devote too much time!
Trying the amster's C but there are too many Rosass and far far too many Kings for my liking and it's obviously not King Crimson!!

Is it an island, perhaps governed by Raul Castro?

[mercia]

when I put Fucik King Rosas into wikipedia's search box the top answer was Circus music, so I think I shall plump for C = Circus

Entrance of the Gladiators (Fucik)
Barnum & Bailey's Favourite (King)
Sobre las Olas (Rosas)

I'm sure I know the Fucik, not sure about the others

in the unlikely event that anyone should be interested, those works were Sur le meme accord (Anne-Sophie), Tout un monde lontain (Slava) and Le temps l'horloge (Renee)
