No, it's not Kempff.

Ha! Got it! Canadian Anton K-K-K-K-Kuerti recorded all the LvB piano sonatas, and his son Julian is a conductor !

Gosh, just got back - was expecting the go-ahead from Ams... But no sign of anyone.
I'll assume that the Kuerti père & fils were the correct answer and set an L, shall I? I warn you that I have to leave around 10am tomorrow to beetle off down to Winchester to perform godfatherly duties and take the young shaver to lunch, not back till late afternoon...
Hope someone gets this before I leave otherwise things will languish till the evening.
There is one way I could make this VERY easy... Maybe I should to encourage some early solutions...
Very well: Thanks to which L were Lorenzo di Medici, Oedipus and Thomas Chatterton connected with some clowns?"...the isle is full of noises,

If I were going to be around more, I would have omitted the last 3 words of the question. I guess that was the big clue, Anton? Would you have got it without them?"...the isle is full of noises,

Would have been a more amusing puzzle with just the three historical figures but anyway...Originally posted by antongould View Post
I shall attempt to balance indulgence with exemplary moderation tomorrow. Should be rather pleasant down in Hampshire for a roast lunch on a sunny, slightly chilly autumn Sunday
Bedtime for Bonzo. Have a good "M" anton, thanks for solving "L" so deftly

NietzscheComment

with nothing better to do than nitpick at this time of day, though I can't find a better answer to the K question, I thought the pianist had to be American, not Canadian?
no idea as to M. is it a biographical connection, e.g. they all liked Marmite, or a connection in what they wrote?
so, on the whole, did AG enjoy Barthelona?Last edited by mercia; 16-10-11, 08:22.Comment

morning to you. Barcelona was wonderful, the weather superb and yet already it seems a distant memory! This M is a place and yes they all wrote something(s) connected to this place. Further clue not Middlesbrough!Comment

AH, that was a cunning part of the clue - Ammy said "North American" - which means anything north of Mexico I think, i.e. the USA and Canada.Originally posted by mercia View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

That is disturbing. One gets the feeling they didn't just go for a drink after the photo shoot...
