Awkward Classical Music Photos. I actually like this one, though. It reminds me of something The Art of Noise would have done.

These are great. I remember staring at this one at the store, transfixed by the weirdness.

That is pretty AoN like. Art of Noise was my first favorite band (well new band - I had a big Beatles phase before them); now I feel like spinning Who's Afraid of...

Those are hilarious!

Omg that stone one is weeeeird.

Adding http://awkwardbandphoto.blogspot.com/ into the mix, although pop bands are a much easier target than classical musicians.

Why would you put a violin in the water? Why?! Also, I'm not sure that piano qualifies as a classical music instrument. If it does though, I might have been the next Mozart when I was only one year old.

I can NOT thank you enough for this. Immediately alerted my brother-in-law, who is a classical musician and has never seen this page.

That one by Cecilia Bartoli is awesome. Especially since it's an album where she records music that was written for castrato singers. The photo illustrates the weirdness of castrato singers imitated by a woman very well I think.

priceless. As a clarinetist, I find some of them cringeworthy, especially the ones involving clarinetists.
