Classical Musicians a different view

Awkward Classical Music Photos is a wonderful site that has some very interesting and unusual pictures to say the list. The following is from the web site:

This website was conceived and created in a spirit of fun and out of a love for classical music.
You know how sometimes your older brother, whom you admire to bits, sometimes embarrasses you a little by wearing those ridiculous plaid pants with the orange knee patch? You still have a lot of respect for his intellect and kindness and general awesomeness as a human being, but you can’t help laughing at how awkward he looks whenever he wears them?
This blog is kind of like that.
Inclusion in this blog in no way constitutes a statement about a person’s musical abilities, technique, expressiveness, virtuosity, depth, or any other aspect of their talent. Many of the musicians pictured on this site are performers that we admire, adore, even swoon over. Just not in certain unfortunate awkward photos.
Most pictures here are not linked to the musicians’ web page, the photographer’s web page, or other identifying page. That’s because the idea here isn’t to be mean or to badmouth people. It’s all in fun, remember?
