Genesis Suite?

But was Strav really one of the people?

Well spotted, Tommo! (Oh dear, new smilies available...how long until t-p and the gang spot them?!  Cheesy)

Stravinsky's 'Babel' was part of it:

http://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Suite-Mario-Castelnuovo-Tedesco/dp/B0002TNI80/sr=1-3/qid=1172327920/ref=sr_1_3/002-9521391-7492010?ie=UTF8&s=music

It looks quite intriguing.

Please no.  "Waffle" (which always had to me the whiff of friday night ramblings in the pub) has turned into "nursery scribbling" (which doesn't).

True.

A new quartet, though two other composers are waiting in the wings to help if necessary:

Prokofiev
Holst
Tchaikovsky
Sibelius
 
I'll pop back later to check...

BTW, if you fancy an extra/ alternative challenge, Dan's relaunched this quiz 'over there' too...just waiting to see if it gets 'modded'!

Fruit? Oranges and pineapples spring readily to mind; plums (of the sugared variety) follow swiftly on - I'll consider Mssrs Holst and Sibelius shortly...

Thanks IGI,

I may not have time to submit another connection teaser as I have to be 'up the pub' at 8.30pm, unusual for a Sunday for me as I have always been a Radio 2 man on Sunday nights, but can't let my friend down.  Wink
