Yes, a rather tasteless picture. All it's trying to say is the she is the master in the art of making music on the piano.
What's most noticeable about this photograph is the missing bit of ivory or substitute thereof on the top F of the keyboard; I wonder what happened to it?Best,Alistair
Well spotted. Must have fallen off after some heavy action.
So, normality means a homely, relatively not-so-attractive-looking woman?
i am a very straight boy and like girls very much
I don't think she's (Brenda Lucas Ogden) homely at all. It's her hair style that's a little unflattering. What I see in all these other hi-tech and, yes, touched up photos, is marketing, marketing, marketing.
I might be in the minority, but that picture of Brenda to me shows a more attractive woman than all of the painted stick insects so far shown in this thread and by some margin.
To readress the balance somewhat, let's consider someone more classic, more English:For those of you who may not know, Brenda Lucas Ogdon is John Ogdon's widow. She is a concert pianist herself and an active teacher. She was also Mr Ogdon's duo partner and has recorded much of his music.
Did she have any kids with John?
i suppose i should have gone with another one but that one had a piano so i was like meh...interestingly they weren't pushing the sex as much with her early on but definately when her bikini and lingerie modeling and lad mag shoots hit it's been that way since (she's an FHM girl too i def won't post those but you can google image that stuff if anyone's so inclinded..), now she's doing all sorts ofendoresments in the UK (nails, she's Pantene ProVs new face, clohtes, etc) . i'll promptly remove the quesionable phot of her.
Am I in the wrong room? Is this a thread FOR MEN only?
You think Ashkenazy is better looking than Freddy Kempf? LOL!!
more balance....ca 1891 a young josef hoffmann and alexander scriabin, these two lady killers probably had a female or two chasing them around moscow
Hmmm. I wasn't far from the truth...
She looks like one of those porno actresses you find on the private channels in Tokyo hotels.
I will have to defer to your greater knowledge on that one old chap.Thal
OMG that's right. I hadn't thought of that! Though I tend to believe a true geisha has much more talent then Ms. Otsuka Ai...in all fields...
WHY is it so important these days for a female musician, esp. violinists, to have a photograph of themselves on whatever cover or poster that looks like ti has been shot for Playboy? The capacity to undulate accross the picture is not what playing whatever they play is about!Not that I object to a nice and good photograph; the one of Grimaud here looks quite good indeed (as does she). But I have heard too many performances of 'cute' or whatever performers that jarred my ears to care much what the performer looks like. I am going to a concert to bathe my ears, not my eyes (barring opera).
I already said Glenn Gould AND he also loved animals! I want to marry him! well maybe in some other life or something...
Didn't see. But he deserves more pictures on this thread don't you think?
Yes sure!! I couldn't really find that many pictures.
