Virtuoso with record on the radio? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liszt

'virtuoso' is the definition.
(I know that Liszt has the occupation the virtuoso)

'record on the radio?' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'list' (list is a type of record).
'on the radio?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'on the radio' mean this).
'list' is a homophone of 'LISZT'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for liszt that I've seen before include "Hungarian composer/pianist" , "Pianist and composer (often associated with Brahms), d. 1886" , "Brahms and - is rhyming slang for drunk" , "Franz . . . . ., great Hungarian composer" , "Hungarian composer,d. 1886" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
