What do Mussorgsky, Debussy and Holst have in common?

I know that's an easy one but it might get the trivia bug rolling again.

By the way.........it's nothing to do with ELP. ;)

They each have less than 15 letters in their name. (When in doubt, point out the obvious.)

True...but I was looking towards a "prog(ish)" artist who has covered such suites.

There that's given the game away but in case you need another pointer. He sounds a bit like a Yes Album and a salad. :D

You say Tomato, he says Tormato, I say Tomita!

For a bonus point - what was the name of the "Debussy" album?

Daft bugger!!!!!

Although if you watch Moonraker, the villain Drax does have an amazing resemblance to Claude Debussy. Especially in the scene where you first see him "playing" Chopin's Raindrop prelude.

I'll give you a clue. "Wintery scenes in a ballroom?"

The first thing I thought of that they have in common is they are all dead !!!!


But I thought good 'ol Rick Wakeman had a part in this - He's done Clair de La Lune and Beyond the Planets (Holst) but I can't find him doing anything by Mussorgsky - Blast.

Seems that it's time to give the answer to the Bonus Point. The album is "Snowflakes are Dancing".

Anyone else want to ask a question? Start a new thread if you do.
