PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS: Patric Standford (1939-2014). Photo © 2011 Sophie Standford

Solomon

The term Solomon will normally here mean Handel: Solomon - an oratorio, King Solomon, as in the words 'annointed Solomon king' from Handel's Zadok the Priest, the British pianist Solomon Cutner, normally known as Solomon, or the South African pianist Jonathan 'Yonty' Solomon.
