Attractive PIANISTS!?!?!

[ahinton]

Well, at least I'm well and truly let out of this one, never having been a pianist in the first place.

And please don't anyone use that admission as an excuse to start a new thread on attractive composers...

Best,

Alistair

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

I'll second that!

[birba]

Speaking of attractive composers AND pianists, no one, and I mean NO ONE, can top this.

Agree!!

Who gave you the authority to invent this new rule?

maybe it's like criminal justice, you know innocent till proven guilty? maybe we're all ugly unless proven otherwise 

[candlelightpiano]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Has anyone watched De-Lovely? It was one of my favorite movies.

Hmmm maybe I could make a picture from one of Birba's videos.   
And what do you mean Birba that you doubt that you're a pianist?!  Just ask people here who saw your videos and heard your recordings!

[hastur]

Do I spy a birba? The lighting makes it hard to tell!

[49410enrique]

eileen joyce (was on board with decca way way way back in the day), she was a looker!


the girl could play

YES, LittleTune! Do that!
Birba is too modest, that's all. He's one of the best and most entertaining pianists I've ever known.

adelina de lara-she studied under clara schumann and while studying became a freind of our dear j. brahms., she's most interesting, escpecially since she made it into 'modern times' as a concert artist (70+ year performance career) so we have first person accounts of clara via this great pianist.
ca1896, i don't think she was super cute later on but early i could see our romantic brothers taking a second look or two

[candlelightpiano]

What an interesting photo! Is that you in the shadow? The piano looks like your Yamaha C3. The rug under it looks familiar. You're not wearing your usual black long sleeved shirt so it's probably summer. Yes, I think it's you! Thanks!! I enjoyed the photo very much! So now there's a photo of you, I'll nominate you as an attractive pianist again!

Very interesting!  she's really cute.  Even by modern day standards.  Can you imagine taking lessons from clara Schumann?!

[birba]

Yes, that's a yamaha c-3. What an eye!  And that's a "Peking blue" underneath the piano. And that's me - hidden in the shadows like I wanted it to be...

[retrouvailles]

Who gave you the authority to invent this new rule?

Possibly my seniority? I don't know. I have almost 3000 posts on this account, and I have another account that I used to have that has almost 2000 posts. Not sure if that's worth anything, but hey, clearly people have been heeding my so called rule.

[gfds]

Funky look for a classical pianist :-P

[birba]

Now that's good-looking.  Who is he?

[gfds]

A French-based cosmopolitan pianist

[birba]

somehow he looks better with the shades.

Don't you think most people do?

Please post another photo. We enjoyed that photo very much! Thanks.

[gfds]

Glitter piano :-p
Who's "brighter"? The Fazioli or the pianist?

[gfds]

BLACK AND RED :-O

posing like a chic?=

Ha Ha!!! Who is he ?

[49410enrique]

lol just one of the ones from my fail archives
seriously though  it's a well done photo i just don't think he quite thought it through, i think any of these ladies could have pulled it off better (these are some 'unknowns' that i just hope they play but i can't verify),

[gfds]

Let me know if you manage to verify one day if they really play
let's meet up at one of their concert :p

[littletune]

Cool Birba! You posted your picture!   
I would post my picture too but I don't really think it would be appropriate.   

[49410enrique]

byron janis probably had a whole bunch of female fans

[candlelightpiano]

Cool Birba! You posted your picture!

Why not, LittleTune? The only reason I wouldn't post my picture is because I'm not a pianist and I don't think I'm attractive. 

[49410enrique]

the pekinel sisters, guher and suher

[littletune]

Why not, LittleTune? The only reason I wouldn't post my picture is because I'm NOT a pianist! 

Well if you're not a pianist then I'm not either... and I'm sure not attractive and I'm just a kid... and there's too many pictures of girls in this thread anyway.  but maybe I'll post anyway...cause I'm saying people should post pictures of themselves but I'm not posting mine... so that kinda doesn't seem right... 

Oh Birba did you post your picture so I wouldn't try to make a picture from one of your videos? 

[birba]

You got it!

[retrouvailles]

but maybe I'll post anyway...cause I'm saying people should post pictures of themselves but I'm not posting mine... so that kinda doesn't seem right... 

What's the difference between you and birba? You're both people on the internet that no one knows. You shouldn't be afraid of anyone because of that.

[littletune]

Well I'm not afraid... I just wasn't sure if it would be appropriate.  I know these threads are just for fun anyway.

Anyone and everyone is a better pianist than me. I don't know why Birba didn't want you to make a picture from one of his videos. He looks very good in them.

Well if Littletune is just a kid I can perfectly understand her reluctance.  When you watch TV nowadays, most images of kids are pixellated.  We live in a dangerous world indeed.

yep lots of douche bags like this guy in the background all over the place...

Actually, images of kids are only pixelated in the United States if there is a crime scene, as far as I know. I see kids with their faces visible all the time on the news.

[littletune]

Well I know I have to be careful, but I feel really safe here at piano street... 

(that woman kinda looks like she's running in her underwear  )

Well I wanted to take a picture of me with my piano, but maybe I'll wait till my cold goes away... but maybe I can post some other picture...

You know who else should post their pictures here? Wolfi and m1469!!!  And also in the composers thread too.

I agree! If you post your picture, please let me know so that I can take a look. Thanks, Littletune!

[costicina]

Hi,
I discovered this funny thread, and I'd like to join!!!
So far, for me Birba is at the top of the list    

Margherita

[birba]

Thanks, but there's nothing like being 100% partial, is there?

[costicina]

     

Ok, I'll add another good-looking pianist that IMO shares the podium with you....



That guy plays like a God, too!!!

[birba]

Wow!

[pianowolfi]

yep lots of douche bags like this guy in the background all over the place...

Well there must have been one in the front too...

[birba]

That IS some bod.   

[costicina]

      

If also amateur pianists count.... Well, it’s me (in an advertising for the gym where I use to train… I'm really becoming shameless        ). Of course, I can’t compete with Lola Astanova, or with Helen Grimaud        ...
