        Ataúlfo Argenta ? Won the 1931 prize, lived and convalesced in Segovia

        and his last live concerts were of Handel's Messiah.

          Right chap, RM! Bravo!

          I think it may have been his future wife who won the prize.

          Any ideas about Handel, finally?

          Edit: Cross post - you got the Handel too RM

          I like to keep this thread moving, RM - well done!

          Would you B kind enough to arrange another puzzle, please?

                  The Classical Net web site offers a comprehensive collection of information and news on classical music subjects including articles and CD reviews, composers and their music, the basic repertoire, recommended recordings and a CD buying guide. The site now features over 9000 files of information including thousands of CD, Book, Concert, DVD and Blu-ray reviews and more than 5500 links to other classical music sites.


                  although apparently Decca Spain made some recording that are not included in this set

                  He died very young of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning and so falls into the same category as Guido Cantelli and Istvan Kertesz - they left enough recorded evidence to make us grieve for what might have been had they lived into full artistic maturity

                            apparently there's a dish called Eggs Berlioz but I doubt this is of any relevance to the question
