.  Why is he wearing a fur hat? He is not on Alaska is he? However, I don't see any creases. The fur hat dates from one of the visits to Russia in the 1960s. Here's another look from a Moscow occasion, with Shosty:  |

What is it with composers and white anyway?   Yikes. The day Tavener and Stockhausen are taken as typical of the psyche of the composer, it seems to me the human species is doomed. |

Why are the human species doomed because of this two composers wearing white, Even Johnson?
Thank you, Mary, for another interesting picture and comment.

Absolutely creases me up, this thread does. What a turn-up for the books! I'm surprised that no one has sent any .zip files yet, though. I know there's to be no politics here, but I remain curious if this is why no one has yet made any observations about whether some com-posers carry themselves to the left and others to the right (but then no one has yet mentioned Richard Levi-Strauss or William Crotch either - or even Christopher Tye, Ernest Chaussure, Eric Coats or even the ultimate arbiter on such matters, Arnoldo Sartorio, for that matter - though we don't want this to develop into a mad Hatto's tie-party, do we?). Anyway, after those unforgivably banal thoughts, I promise that I'll belt up before not only the moderator/s but the entire membership of this forum does something very nasty to the seat of my pants...
Best,
Alistair

White clothes? are you Sirius? Yes, well, that is of course the photograph as it appeared in the popular press. Courtesy of Veronika Lenz, I have the original untouched photo which tells a rather different story.  |

Thanks Ollie. I was looking for that one but Veronika wouldn't tell me where I'd saved it.

Apologies to Thomas Ades for getting the accent on his "e" the wrong way round (or not there at all, as now). It should have been a grave, but I can't remember how to type it.
