Musician's press release to approve disc by Furious Five (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prokofiev

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musician's' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'press release to approve disc by furious five' is the wordplay.
'press release' becomes 'pr' (public relations).
'to approve' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'disc' becomes 'O' (disc-shaped letter).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'furious' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'five' anagrammed gives 'fiev'.
'pr'+'ok'+'o'+'fiev'='PROKOFIEV'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for prokofiev that I've seen is " Russian composer (Peter and the Wolf)".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
