Mort's lovely picture of Steven Isserlis set my mind thinking about how silly musicians can often look in photographs which are supposed to make them look intense, or cool, or sexy, or whatever image they or their masters have decided would be appropriate. Here are a few to start with. Gardiner. Eliot Gardiner.  Spoilt for choice with this one. The "Lord of the Rings" look:  Oops, tripped up on the way to the podium.  |

Good God! What on earth made her think that was a good idea? Squirm.

Well, spoilt for choice as you say, but I did like this one when I stumbled across it.  |

Conductors are among the worst offenders of course.  |

Earlier in his career, Bernstein had experimented with injecting nicotine directly into his brain, using a tube implanted in his right thumb.  |

Obviously, A, you can't bring yourself to believe that there's a human being in the world who would want to put his or her arm around Andrew Lloyd Webber. Who can blame you? Meanwhile, here's a Hassidic punk with a violin who got his head stuck in a lawnmower.  |

Perhaps it's a spare arm that he keeps in a briefcase for the very porpoise of convincing people that someone would put their arm around him. Incidentally, not sure if anyone saw the look on Graham Norton's face when ALW reached out and grasped his hand... |

I'm warning you! This violin is loaded, and I know how to use it! I had no idea he was a construction steelworker before getting into conducting  |
