Conductor exposed in the Sun with a couple of timpanists (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solti

'conductor' is the definition.
(Georg Solti)

'the sun with a couple of timpanists' is the wordplay.
'the sun' becomes 'sol' (I've seen this before**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a couple of timpanists' becomes 'ti' (the first two letters of timpanists).
'sol'+'ti'='SOLTI'

'exposed in' is the link.

(Another definition for solti that I've seen is " conductor".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
