Now I am really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Here is my last group of classical musicians and their looklikes. Till the next time...
The Canadian pianist
Glenn Gould grew weirder and weirder over the years, till he became a caricature of himself, not unlike
The Count of Sesame Street. How many
Partitas did Bach compose? Now let me count: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... SIX Partitas! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha........(accompanied by thunder and lightning).
My apologies for associating one of the world's great pianists with psychopaths and terrorists, but when you grow facial hair like
Radu Lupu, you might get stopped by airport security to make sure you aren't
Rasputin or
Osama ben Laden.
Russian pianist
Nikolai Lugansky has a twin who played in midfield for Arsenal and Barcelona, the Belarussian
Aleksandr Hleb.
The late great Singaporean criminal lawyer
J.B.Jeyaratnam and former Workers Party chief has sideburns to rival the Belgian-French composer-organist
Cesar Franck.
Another music and football connection: Singaporean conductor
Darrell Ang has the same eyebrows as Spanish striker
Jose Antonio Reyes.
Not strictly classical music here. Hong Kong comedian
Lydia Sum,
Dame Edna Everidge (aka Barry Humphries) and
Zara Nutley (Miss Courtney from TV's
Mind Your Language) do have certain likenesses.
If you're young, pretty and can really play the piano, there's no reason why you shouldn't win the Silver Medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The Koreans
Joyce Yang and
Yeol Eum Son did it in 2005 and 2009. Maybe Singapore's
Lee Pei Ming should give it a try!
Chinese-American pianist
Grace Fong might like to audition for the next filming of Charlie's Angels, and she could even displace
Lucy Liu.
Positively the last of the Musical Hobbits (unless you can think of some more): Venezuelan conductor
Gustavo Dudamel, Romanian pianist
Radu Lupu, French pianist
Jean-Marc Luisada and Latvian cellist
Mischa Maisky.
