It is Grand Prix weekend in Singapore, which means there are no concerts in the city. At least those concerts which we really care about. Which also means it's time to bring out the latest set of Musical Lookalikes, which I have collected since the last time.
There is an obvious bias to the Singapore music scene (see the next instalment) and its many interesting figures. There is also a bias towards pianists, and why not?
 |
| The great Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman is beginning to look like the ageing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) of Star Wars Part 8. |
 |
| Did anybody think that Alfred Brendel looked like Mr Hooper (Will Lee) from Sesame Street? |
 |
| Looking glamourous: Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter and the young Helen Mirren. |
 |
| GOAT pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin and his Hollywood lookalike, character actor Michael Rooker. |
 |
| Even the backdrop is the same. The late Hungarian pianist Zoltan Kocsis is a dead-ringer for Scorpio (Andy Robinson) from Dirty Harry. So make my day, punk! |
 |
| Romanian pianist Alexandra Dariescu does look like the great Dame Moura Lympany. |
 |
| Lowell Liebermann, composer of Gargoyles, and his doppelganger, football manager Iain Dowie. |
Enough of pianists.
It's time to troll the others.
 |
| This is my favourite. Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich were sighted at Schloss vor Husum buying CDs at the Danacord booth. |
 |
| All are Dutchmen. Conductor Jaap van Zweden and his footballing compatriots, Erik Ten Hag and Mitchell van der Gaag coaching staff of Manchester United. |
 |
| Violist Volodia Mykytka of the Szymanowski Quartet and adult movie superstar Ron Jeremy. |
 |
| The great jazz pianist-composer Nikolai Kapustin and just about any Grumpy Cat. |
