Posted this a while ago on the Kenneth Leighton thread. I wonder if any other composers have "doubles".
Any suggestions?

Kenneth Leighton



Patrick McGoohan

Just bought a CD of Leighton's 1st Symphony - the first of his music I've purchased - opened the jewelcase and there was the star of The Prisoner staring back at me; quite a surreal moment.................worthy of the cult TV series itself! Not had chance to hear the Symphony yet so I'll report back in due course - if I'm not eaten by one of those big blobby balloon things first!

You read my mind!  I was visualizing Grieg and Einstein, and thought of posting this!  :)

    I've been told that I have a pretty good resemblance to
     Alexander Glazunov. 

Opus106

Not quite as good as some posted here -- especially the Leighton and Zemlinsky -- but these were the personalities I was reminded of when I saw the composers' pictures for the first time.

I notice a certain similarity between Wolfgang Rihm (left) and Mark Tully.







When someone posted the cover shown below, I was immediately reminded of an older Paul Dirac.

Very funny - excellent choice.

That's amazing. Ho, and Einstein looks nothing like Grieg. The mustache is all wrong.
