Yes.

The "Saint" being the "St" in "St Cyr". A member of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven bands and composer of the popular standard Oriental Strut. Now you need to find someone recent for part three - a third banjoist - and you are there.

.....Think particularly of a Hungarian composer. Classical.

As for the third person, you are looking for someone who combines in one way an Austrian, a Czech.....and a Hungarian composer.

Béla (for Bartok) Anton (for Dvorak) Leos (for Janacek) Fleck.

[Lateralthinking1]

Bingo. Almost. He was named after three composers. But not Dvorak. It was Webern. You did very well and you can have C for such a terrific effort. Many thanks.

It is in the same source as the Hadrian link.

slightly stumped. I've found three singers called Andrew who have played the part of Cavaradossi but that's all. The Hadrian link being the Castel Sant'Angelo, his mausoleum in Rome, forming the backdrop of Tosca.
