Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find them... oh I think it was cause I wasn't searching on Google!

Oh and his dog was really cute too! 
I love this picture:


They even have the same look on their face!

maybe they're performing *pauses..... some Hugo Wolf

Well, neither of them is Bruno Canino, for sure (think about that - and specifically about his duo partnership with his compatriot Antonia Ballista that at one time encouraged some to dub the duo "Cannon and Ball"); give me "kitten on the keys" (said to be a literal English translation of Sorabji's title Opus Clavicembalisticum - think about it for a moment) any day and, while so doing, do please also bear in mind the fact that, as the cliché has it, "dogs have masters: cats have servants".

Best,

Yes she looked especially good when she made those videos playing Chopin for a film about him.  Recently, after her marriage, she did not look as good.

[pytheamateur]

Returning to Lola Astanova, I thought I'd post a link to an interview with her, so people can have a better idea of what she's like in a more natural environment.

At the end of the interview, she played Chopin's "Ocean" Etude.  Note her heavy panting throughout.

lol she does have a way with theatrics, especialy in her scriabin etude and about 2 minutes into on her of rachmaninoff moments musiceaux.  i need to see if i can find a review of how her carnegie hall recital debut went.your link is recent so it may be it but i can't understand russian to save my life.

while we're on interviews, relatively recent one with little yuja. q and a starts afer a brief intro w her playing at a min or so in...

i love the glen gould-esque aspect to her playing where she's almost mouthing and singing along what she's playing (or about to play as i think glen tended to be about a beat or so ahead of his hands.)

[pytheamateur]

No, I think Astanova's Carnegie Hall debut is on 12 January.  I heard she recently played some kind of warm-up concert in a bar/nightclub.

Is there no end to these delctable morsels?!  You begin to lose your appetite...

[thalbergmad]

Just make me more hungry old chap.

I'd like to be with another artist because when you are as serious an artist as I am, artists are the only people that can stand you, and the only people you can stand are artists. Sure, there are exceptions, but this has been the case in many of my experiences. I strive to find attractive pianists, with all that said.

Essentially this.

As for attractive musicians... Valentina Lisitsa isn't bad looking at all, looking on the female side. That she appears to be a cool person to hang out with judging from interviews and such also adds to this. And as Birba mentioned earlier, on the male side, Boris Berezovsky has a certain charm.

EDIT: Oh, and if we aren't looking at just classical pianists, I'd also like to throw AMANDA PALMER in there.

[birba]

Oh, I assure you.  They've strayed off into that area as well in this thread.  At one point it became a  red-light district.

She looks like a Polish woman in her early thirties, correct?

[candlelightpiano]

Younger, I think. Twenties, perhaps.

[unholeee]

^ what is that piece that starts at 2.40 in the youtube video?

[thalbergmad]

Beethoven Piano Concerto No.3, last movement.

Thal

[unholeee]

thank you, i was trying to find it by playing the melody on musicpedia, and wasnt having much luck =))

[birba]

I looked this chick up and she's famous for wearing Halston and being photographed by Douglas Kirkland.

[49410enrique]

don't think we've had a duo yet, these kids got a mention a while back over at bosendorfer playground
Ferhan & Ferzan Oender

Not to change the subject, but enrique!  what is this valse d'iritation après Nokia - sounds neat.  something Hamelin would brilliantly make up. Is there music anywhere?

[littletune]

You know what we should do? We should all post pictures of ourselves here    I was kinda expecting at least Thal to post his picture here  Wouldn't that be more fun?!

[49410enrique]

no worries.  i can't find the original thread on here but someone put up a score many years ago on pianostreet (i tried looking again but couldn't find it, but it was old like maybe 2003? or so) so i'll post the score since it is already on here but if i am asked to I will remove it.

yeah my understanding is he trascribed it as a musical commentary/voicing his irritation at the recurring malady. see and hear the performance today excerpt below:

brilliant little work (note the seven tones at the end mimmick/sound like phone tones when you dial a phone number, seven of them since in the US that is the standard number without the area code) also i don't know if you can buy this score outside of the US right now and i'd hate for you to not be able to enjoy reading it, note this sub board wont' allow attachement, just respond to this when you download the pdf file and mp3 i am posting for you from my mediafire account and i'll deactivate the links asap so we don't get in trouble.

mp3 recording, unfortunately I don't know the performer, this was a reall bugger for me to find

That was really lovely.  Dumb, but lovely!  I tried to download the pdf but it said it was a deleted file or something.  Then I did something really stupid.  right under where they said it was a deleted file, There was a big thing saying "download now!"   What did I do?  Yep.  I downloaded something.  But I don't know what it was.  Probably a virus...

well yes Teguh! but you should post a picture of yourself here! it's really getting kinda boring with just all those women and no guys!!  (but no I don't feel like looking for pictures of them on the internet and posting them myself, I want someone else to post them!  )

You're way too funny!!!

[hastur]

Well, apparently we lack guys in here, as littletune among other's keep mentioning. I'll just show off a pic of myself having a "good hair day" from quite recently. Attractive or not, that's for you to decide.

Also, let's just ignore that it's no longer just my roots showing but my natural hair colour starting to pop out for real. And that I should re-dye my hair ASAP.

[littletune]

Well finally someone was brave enough to post their own picture here!     
What is your natural hair colour? I don't really see.

[hastur]

It's all shades between medium blonde and dark brown. I generally dye my hair black or dark brown because I don't like having 9018239871295 hair colours.

Well than that's a lot like me! I have blonde, brown, and kind of a little red (or orange) hair...  and maybe something else too....

Ah, youth...!

I WAS an attractive pianist.  Now I'm just a pianist.  And sometimes I doubt that...

New rule: you can't nominate someone without a picture being posted, so birba is disqualified without a picture.
