dear Gentlemen: who is the most beautiful classical musician /artist of our time

[Maja81]

Anna Nebtrebko, Bond, Hilary Hahn, Katherine Jenkins?
I think the most beautiful artist is the french piano player Helene Grimaud, maybe because I like her playing the piano so much, too. You will find some pictures at her website www.helenegrimaud.com

Unfortunately its not myself

our time? I must sound very stupid.. but what's our time? our generation or what?

umm well I think Liszt was so beautiful when he was younger, because he was so gorgeus and also beacuse of his playing. it was so devilish and insane! intruiging. that's alive now I'd say Tori Amos. I can't get over how beautiful she is, not to mention she's one of my favorite musicians of all time.

Katherine Jenkins! That name sounds familiar.

Our very own Elena Hammel (EHpianist) is quite the cutie. You can see pictures of her on her website which I am too lazy to look for right now, but just search for her profile and there's a link.

Naida Cole is super hot. Tori Amos is smokin' and a great singer, but I don't think she makes the cut as a "classical" musician.



I see you're drinking 1%,

Elena is indeed a babe, a good friend of mine too I'm proud to say.  Her site is:

She's playing a concert in the Lake George NY area with her Duo partner Laura Sanchez on June 4 in case anyone is interested in going. I will be there for sure.

Anna Netrebko is a definite hottie. O-( > v < )/O  (sorry, that was lame)

Hot is not the same as beautiful. Its actually a very different term.

Yes. This is an important point, because I think its something many people are unaware of. Sexual attraction ("hotness") may be a property of something beautiful, but it need not be. When it comes to people, we rarely (and ought not to) understand them merely as sexual objects but rather as something much more, or something entirely different altogether. We learn about their personality, their beliefs and attitudes, their mannerisms and nervous habits, their past, their morals et cetera, and all of these things contribute to how beautiful they seem to us. Even if we know nothing about a person, I'm still not convinced sexual attraction is very relevant to how beautiful they seem, though I'm less sure on this point. It just seems to me that most beautiful things seem unique somehow, and that many "hot" people are really very generic looking - more kitsch than beautiful if you ask me.

   So you're looking for a beauty that encompasses technique, style of playing, personality, and the way they physically look?  Or just how the person looks physically?
    I don't know too many classical musicians, sadly.  But I have seen and heard Elena Hammel and I have to agree she is quite striking.  Tori Amos definitely wins some votes for me, in the popular music category.  She's starting to age now <sigh> gracefully, however.  Surprisingly well in fact.  Truth be told, I think when a performer reaches a certain age (no particular number, but an age that is up there) he or she finds a golden era of performing due to all those years of experience.
    Cyndi Lauper, the early years, is someone that strikes me as beautiful - more innocent than beautiful, perhaps, but still beautiful.
