Alphabet associations - I

Cheers all The day's going well so far, The Cake sits ready to be opened up to the gannets of this parish just after lunch.

Funny you mention happy tax returns, Mr Flay: I heard this week that I am having a healthy sum returned by the tax man due to making excessive provision for tax... Same thing happened last year too. Shall try not to spend it all at once

I can make no inroads into your K whatever save that Norman Lebrecht wrote an article called "When the Music Stops" about the recording industry... Any connection??

Excellent news for you. And you are indeed getting warm. There was another title to Norman's piece....?

[Nick Armstrong]

And you are indeed getting warm.

Ooh Sir, Sir... Is it Kill...ed/er/ing?

"Killing me softly" could be the first bit.
Lebrecht was banging on about how CDs killed the music industry (not sure about another title to his article - was it along those lines?)
And Killer Queen was guaranteed to blow your mind...



Slice of cake for me?

(PS - 'Killing' mentioned recently in these parts by reference to the Danish cop series...)

Well done The Lebrecht book "When the Music Stops: Managers, Maestros and the Corporate Murder of Classical Music" was titled "Who Killed Classical Music?" in the US (it gives both names together on his Wiki page so I thought that would be found fairly easily

Maybe, but the name Norman Lebrecht was mentioned candidly this very morning on these boards (and you were the only person who replied! ) http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...nductor-Camera

I seem to be defending my AA conundrum contributions a lot recently <cry>

No need to be defensive, I think Mr Flay! Good puzzle!

I thought there was a book by him but oddly all I could find was an article in Prospect... Hasty searching among the hurly-burly of work, no doubt

I had overlooked the Lebrecht reference amid the jollity of seeing Oliver von Hardy conducting in that clip

I'll attempt an L then...

An L s'il vous plaît to link a protégé of Heifetz, the multi-talented exponent of a current Mozart concerto cycle of which I am very fond, and a nameless ensemble...

Lausanne?

Lausanne?

A big slice of Konditor & Cook's finest is even now winging its way in your direction

Care to flesh out your correct answer?

Glad you got it quick: won't be long before I head out for a birthday POETS or

... well, I was thinking of Pierre Amoyal [camerata de lausanne] - and of Christian Zacharias [Lausanne Chamber orchestra] - and of the quatuor Sine Nomine ["quatuor lausannois"]?

Waitrose calls. And then a tea. But I'll be mullin' an M...

Of course. Perfect. As usual.

Hurry back now

Happy Birthday Caliban, and I hope you enjoy your shandeys later...

Is the M a musical instrument?

[vinteuil]

Is the M a musical instrument?

... no, the M is a musical work.

Apart from Roger, all the other names have been translated into their English equivalents...

[EDIT]

... and I could also have added: Charles Henry, in collaboration with Frederick - the Great.

Well Joseph is جوسف in Urdu if that's any help...
