    An easy Z to get us back to the start of the alphabet at the start of a new week.

    What Z connects Otto Klemperer, Rudolf Kempe and Roger Norrington?
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Zürich? Kempe/Tonhalle, Norrington/Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Also, Kempe and Klemperer are buried there.

                    That boat has sailed with a full cargo of answers (and a pretty natty umlaut) from Felixtowe, I'm afraid!
