Varese on the right. My initial thought was Stravinsky on the left, but it seems that Igor has become confused with Picasso in my head.

the source says Varese & Stravinsky

the source says Varese & Stravinsky

I quite accept that. I have these moments of insecurity.

I've seen #159 but can't remember

Thought it was Ken Dodd on the left initially

[Pabmusic]

A real toughie. I can start it off with Bax (front row, right). And is that Bernard Hermann, back row, left?

[Roslynmuse]

Roussel front left?

very good. I can't really expect more than one or two - I wouldn't have got any

Lennox Berkeley on the left?

[Pabmusic]

[mercia]

merc's #185 ishows Henry Wood (seated middle) directly in front of RVW with the 16 soloists taking part in the premiere of the latter's Serenade to Music. (If they'd also taken a photo at the time of the performance itself (as opposed, I suspect, at the time of the recording) they could have included Rachmaninoff!)
