    Roehre, when you guess this conductor (this will take you about 04.33 seconds), will you please explain my definition ("shark", "unpleasant smell" minus the "s", etc)? Thank you.

    For the other players : A famous conductor of a Dutch (capital city) orchestra whose name breaks down into two syllables defining the German word for "shark" and an "unpleasant smell" (minus the letter "s" at the beginning).

    OK, you Welsh-Dutchman, one just for you :
    An "Amsterdamer" conductor combining the German for "shark" and a bit of a "fishy smell" minus the "S"?

    It is a Jewish-ish name, and there are at least two 20C composers with that surname.
