Name that pianist

[Megan]

Right on Roehre!

[Roehre]

A stoned resin conductor

[Sorrano]

Maybe another hint?

[Megan]

Lowell Crystal ?

[Roehre]

Lowell Crystal ?.

Chrystal is not a resin, is it?
It is a Jewish-ish name, and there are at least two 20C composers with that surname.

Artur Rubenstein?

[Roehre]

Artur Rubenstein?

A Rubinstein is a ruby, not stoned resin.

[Quijote]

Leonard Bernstein?

[Quijote]

I mean, dear Leonard was not unknown to partake of the "wakky bakky" (hashish resin), and "-stein" does mean "stone", hence "stoned". Am I barking up the wrong tree, Roehre? Woof !

BINGO

[Quijote]

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"?

[Quijote]

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).

[Quijote]

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.

Bernard Haitink.

[Roehre]

Bernard Haitink.

BINGO (German shark = Hai, a Dutch one = Haai), according to Weill's Mackie Messer (Mack the Knife from the Three Penny Opera) normally wearing big teeth in his mouth.
(S)tink is more or less universal, a verb in German and Dutch, a noun in English, something with a unpleasant smell....
